Hi David Further to what Nadine has said:
1. You can use conditional text in FrameMaker to "condition out" your screenshots before converting to Help. We use conditions such as BookOnly or HelpOnly, along with different coloured condition indicators. Display only the appropriate conditions before creating the Help. 2. To handle your cross-reference formats, you can use a dummy template. In that template you define the cross-ref format with the same name as in your regular template, but edit the format to contain only the Heading. Then when you are ready to create your help, import cross-ref formats from the dummy template into your documents. You can do that on a book-wide basis in a single operation. I'm afraid I don't understand your second question... Hope this helps.

Hi everyone, This may be a procedural question. I write my manual (approx. 400 pages) using Frame 7.2. It includes lots of screenshots and cross references. To create my Help (.chm using ePublisher Pro), I make a copy of the entire book folder, strip out most of the screenshots, and have to change the cross reference format from Heading and Page to just Heading. I have 2 questions: 1) Is there an easier way to change the cross reference format (perhaps globally), and 2) Is there a way I can change the files the cross references reference from the original book to the Frame Help files? Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to make this easier and less labor intensive?
