Now here's an odd thing. I hid black throughout the book. Some chapters have extraneous color definitions: I don't know whether that is a factor, but... Scanning the book with black turned off, every page was satisfactorily blank. However, in two chapters - actually one chapter and the index - all the text frames were still visible, although their contents weren't, as expected. All chapters shared the same template. I checked the color views and the definitions of 'black', and also copied the page layouts from a chapter with correctly invisible frames to the chapter with visible frames, but with no effect: the frames still stayed visible. As the frames are set to 'no pen' anyway, this shouldn't have any effect on the output, but I don't like unexplained phenomena! I'm also uneasy about the effect of the color view setting when applied to a whole book in which different chapters have different sets of color definitions: I'm not sure that FrameMaker always gets it right. And why would one page - only *one page* in the entire book - call for an extra brown spot plate just to print the crop marks, which are hard-coded to 100% C, 100% M, 100% Y, 100% K anyway (thus messing up the preflight plate count)? As this is a very old installation of FrameMaker, using the Apple LaserWriter 8 Postscript driver, I don't expect solutions, I'm just airing this as a curiosity. I daresay other, different fun color issues await me in FrameMaker for Windows ;-) -- Steve _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
