Lisa -

 

I agree with Nadine's first recommendation, which is what we have done
here.

 

Preparing for this process emphasizes that "less is [or fewer are]
more."  Wield "Ockham's Razor" judiciously, of not ruthlessly.

 

For _full_ benefit, I highly recommend that you expend the resources
necessary to attend Shlomo Perets'  course on advanced techniques for
FrameMaker templates.

Good luck and regards,

Subject: switch between 8.5x11 and A4 sized pages within the same book?

 

Fellow Framers,

I'm mostly a lurker, but have found the wealth of knowledge shared by
this list's members to be quite helpful!

 

I have a manual (I'm on Frame 8) in which I've used conditional text to
show/hide tables, text, parts lists depending on if it's for the
American market or European.

This manual originated for a US-made product so it started life with
8.5x11 (US-letter size) pages. And it didn't even occur to me that it
might need to be A4-sized for the European market.

 

Is there a good way to switch back and forth between A4 and 8.5x11 page
sizes, depending on which version of a book you want to print?

 

I have the sneaking suspicion that I will have to break this into two
separate books, but I figured I'd ask to see if anyone had
recommendations.


 

Thanks,

Lise
