2006-04-20-04T19:10Z We have numerous instances of damage to specified named destinations and some of the content after those destinations in our FrameMaker files. Sometimes, FrameMaker does the following: - removes the "named destination" character tag from one paragraph and applies it to part or all of the immediately-following paragraph, or - changes the color of a destination _paragraph_ tag based on the color of the "hypertext" character tag - changes the point size of a destination _paragraph_ tag
We apply unique character tags to both "specified named destinations" and "jumps to named destinations." Why we apply a unique character tag to "specified named destinations" is lost in the mists of my memory. I hope you'll either refresh my memory or help me stop doing extra counterproductive work. Here's our setup. FrameMaker unstructured 7.1p116 FrameMaker installed on our workstations All production files are on a server on our LAN within our office suite Here's a description of what we do. ===== Heading 1 Jump to named destination Heading 2 first encoded with character tag "hypertext" _not_ including the pilcrow Jump to named destination Heading 2 second encoded with character tag "hypertext" _not_ including the pilcrow Specified named destination Heading 2 first encoded with character tag "named destination" including the pilcrow Content after Heading 2 first More content after Heading 2 first Specified named destination Heading 2 second encoded with character tag "named destination" including the pilcrow Content after Heading 2 second More content after Heading 2 second ===== In the template for layout on-paper, the color of both character tags is "As Is," so they're invisible. In the template for layout on-screen, the color of character tag "hypertext" is "hypertext," which is blue, and the color of character tag "named destination" is "As Is," so it's invisible. The damage seems to occur within FrameMaker when saving constituent files in a FrameMaker book, when saving the .book file, or when updating the .book file. Here's a description of what often - but not always - results. ===== Heading 1 Jump to named destination Heading 2 first encoded with character tag "hypertext" _not_ including the pilcrow Jump to named destination Heading 2 second encoded with character tag "hypertext" _not_ including the pilcrow Specified named destination Heading 2 first encoded with character tag "named destination" including the pilcrow: _damage_: sometimes all of a Heading 2 is blue, and the _paragraph_ tag's color (as seen in the "Paragraph Designer") is "hypertext," which is blue Content after Heading 2 first More content after Heading 2 first Specified named destination Heading 2 second: damage: _without_ character tag "named destination" Damage: Some of the content after Heading 2 second is encoded with character tag "named destination" and is blue More content after Heading 2 second Specified named destination Heading 2 third: damage: sometimes, the point size is decreased Content after Heading 2 third More content after Heading 2 third ===== Has anyone else encountered this?
