I've had this happen several times but have yet to figure out what causes it - there is a FrameMaker command to turn side heads off (Esc j p Shift+s) but you really have to work to apply that command!
The quickest way I found to fix the side head issue was to create an object style with the side heads turned off, then apply that style to each text box. In FrameMaker 11, be sure that you don't have a text frame selected and then click Graphics > Object Style Designer. When the Object Style Designer dialog opens, click Dimensions in the list of properties. If any of the text boxes on the Dimensions properties has a blue fill, click each box to clear the fill - be sure none of the boxes are checked. Specifically, ensure that the "Room for Side Heads" check box is cleared. Enter a name for the object style and click Save. Applying the object style is similar to applying font or paragraph styles. Display the Object Style Catalog (Graphics > Object Style Catalog), then select the text boxes you want to apply the style to and click the object style name to apply. You can apply the style to multiple text boxes at once. ______________________________________________________________ Carole McCormick Technical Writer Sun Nuclear Corporation +1 321-259-6862, x 282 Fax: +1 321-259-7979 http://www.sunnuclear.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:08:07 -0500 From: "Debbi Leipold" <leip...@comcast.net> To: <framers@lists.frameusers.com> Subject: global text box format Message-ID: <000901d04a02$c0f89150$42e9b3f0$@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Ok Guys, I am stumped. I am working on a large parts list for a service manual. It contains parts illustrations. Each illustration is in its own anchored frame. I was making some edits within a frame and the whole document somehow got messed up. I can see what has happened, but can't remedy it. Backup file is of no use. It appears that every text frame within and anchored frame now has room for sideheads (1.5 in). It took me quite a while to figure this out. I now know what is the problem but not how I did it or how to fix it globally. Individually, I will have to click on every callout. I must have hit something, but I just can't figure it out. Deadline is two days from now, so help would really be appreciated. This is 78 parts illustrations with 50 or so callouts on each..:-( Thanks Debbi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
