Here's an annoyance I'm stumped on. I've been working on updating my group's template, which is a unification of two work groups' templates.
One group had chapter title paragraph tags that addressed chapter numbering with a simple auto-number, after which the writer was required to enter a soft (linefeed) return to enter the chapter title. The other group had a special frame on the First master page that contained the chapter number, which would appear automatically, with writers simply required to enter the chapter title in the adjacent title line field. I proposed a simple alternative, which eliminated the first group's required user input and the complexity of the second group's extra master pages and paragraph tags. This was to use a Chapter title paragraph tag that had the chapter number, a tab, and the text. Would that life were so simple. The group decided that for readability, the chapter/appendix number and the text should appear on the right margin. FrameMaker does not like line feeds in the autonumber fields, so I accomplished this by cunning subterkludge: I defined the Chapter and Appendix paragraph tags as: "C:<$chapnum>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>[ and 46 spaces ]" The 46 spaces forced a new line, everything stuck to the right margin, and peace and love ruled the stars... Until we output the thing to PDF. [Frame 7.x outputting to PDF 5.0 using Distiller 7.0 on Windows XP] The space-forced line feed results in repeated chapter numbers in the PDF bookmarks. For example: 1 1 Chapter Title A A Appendix Title Does anyone know alternatives for: * Forcing a line feed in a chapter-heading paragraph format? * Suppressing this bizarre repeated numbering? Thanks in advance, --William
