Theresa, This is not the most effective way of structuring unstructured content. Like I said in my previous email, you need to use a "Conversion Table" which is outlined in Chapter 4 of the manual I referred you to. Contact me offlist and I will try to walk you through it. Thanks.

If I pick none, an error pops up with "Unable to validate because no DTD or Schema was specified in the XML file" but continue? I say yes. When I open the file, I get this Structure View: (I did this once with the paratag as Body and once as Para) -Root |--Title |--Body (Para) | A- | ID = pgfId-998413 |--Body (Para) | A- | ID = pgfId-998414 |--Body (Para) | A- | ID = pgfId-998415 I'm presuming this is correct?

I chose Rich Text Format, but all of the text appears in the structured view under one single <p> element. The second time (paratag Para) I clicked Smart Paste and got this error message "Smart paste could not convert clipboard data to structured content". What am I doing wrongly? Thanks. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected]. Send list messages to [email protected].
