Hi David
Thanks for reporting these issues. 1. Master page support to have boilerplate footer in each CHM topic. We are working on this and it will be available in next update soon. 2. Glossary options as tool tip, etc, FM 12 support 4 types Hyperlink, popup, tooltip, expanding text for glossary. I have replied with steps on the thread https://forums.adobe.com/message/6344474. Please let me know if it is not working for you.

This week I've been playing with the 30 day trial of FrameMaker 12. Most of my work at the moment has been generating HTML Help: my existing workflow has been with TechComm Suite 4, authoring in Frame 11, linking the books into RoboHelp 10 and generating CHMs from there. I've found that workflow a bit cumbersome, and struggled quite a bit to get my CHM files looking the same as my Frame source (although I mostly got there in the end, not least with some help from others on this list...) I'm trying to see whether I could just use Frame 12 instead, and forget about RoboHelp and TechComm Suite. (As I don't need the multiplicity of output formats the latter can produce.) The dialog boxes for configuring CHM output from Frame 12 look very familiar ( :) yes, they're straight out of RoboHelp) and I was quickly and easily able to achieve about 95% of what I'd been doing in TCS4. The only 'gotcha' I have encountered is this: Creating a CHM from Frame12 still ignores anything that was on a Master Page or Reference Page - so any 'boilerplate' graphics etc get ditched. In TCS4, I'd instead used RoboHelp "Master Pages" to append a boilerplate footer to each CHM topic. Am I right that I can't do this with Frame12 alone? Or is there some workaround I'm overlooking? (Sadly I don't think I can do without this feature, so if it can't be done in Frame12 alone I'll need to stick with TCS4... TCS5 is no good as it doesn't have Illustrator, as many of you have already noted......) Also, the "Glossary" feature in Frame12 seems to be broken - I ought to be able to include "GlossaryTerm" markers on words, and have the marker text displayed in the CHM as tooltips, pop-ups, etc. It doesn't appear to work though (other people have confirmed the same issue on the Adobe Forums). Has anyone here tried this successfully?
