Dear Framers, I figured out what my problem was here. I had failed to set the Page break priority in WWP's Paragraph Styles, Option tab. I thought that placing the TopicAlias marker in a FM pgf tag that starts a new page and setting the Table of Contents in WWP would tell WWP to start the topic on a new page.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. I truly appreciate your help. -k -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:framers-bounces+grossk=hurco.com at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Gross, Karen Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 4:47 PM To: Bill Swallow Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: FrameMaker files and CHM Sorry, the software to which I was referring is the application for which we're providing context-sensitive help. I haven't found any documentation stating anything about needing to break up the FM files per topic. Our software developer claims it's necessary, and our tests on the machine control prove him to be correct. I suspect the problem is with our control's software. At the very least, I'm missing something that will make it all work. We're using a custom .h file that holds our topic IDs and the control screen IDs (Map IDs). Example: #define IDH_ScreenName 123. The text is the same as what we put in the TopicAlias marker. The screen ID is the number assigned to the screen by the software developers. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Swallow [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 4:40 PM To: Gross, Karen Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: FrameMaker files and CHM Which software are you talking about? WWP? You most certainly don't have to have one topic per FM file. That defeats the whole point of single-sourcing with FM and the point of using WWP in the first place. Can you provide details?
