Along a similar line of thought, does anyone know how to get Word xrefs to come across correctly into FM? Mine all seem to have gotten broken in translation.
As I'm writing this, I'm wondering if the glitch is in my process: 1. Open Word XP doc in FM. 2. Split the FM file into multiple "chapters" in a book. -- in which case, is there a way to do the split without breaking the xrefs? Grant Feeling particlularly stupid this morning -- hopefully I can blame the cold meds. -----Original Message----- From: Art Campbell Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 8:16 AM To: Roger Shuttleworth Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: OT - PDF creation slows to a crawl Imported-from-Word docs often seem to contain hidden higher-order characters that cause problems when it comes to .pdf creation, maybe because Acrobat doesn't know how to deal with them, or they may signal Acrobat to do something special. I think I'd try these alternate methods of import: * Poke around in the .mif file to see if you can ID more precisely what is triggering the show down, and remove it. * In Word, in a copy of the source, Remove Formatting, and save as .RTF (Maybe also save as .txt while you're at it). Try opening the .RTF in FM to see if that makes a difference. * Make a .PDF of the problem file from Word, then extract an .RTF file from that in Acrobat. * If it still isn't working, try copy-and-pasting the .txt file in to FM with the Paste Special / Text command.
