I am trying to feather a book. However, there is one problem. The book is The New Testament, that I have posted about several times this summer. I ended up setting it up structured, as I ran into too many problems with the InDesign-to-Word files. All that went well, and, of course, I decided to save the last things until last. :-)
I have told about my problems with balanced columns (some lines vanishing below the bottom of the text frame). This still is a problem. In some files I can just uncheck that feature, but not everywhere, I think. FrameMaker lacks in Drop cap letters. All chapters have to be set in a similar way, so I had to set them into an Run-into-paragraph Anchored frame. This was a rather time consuming work. Which seemingly also kills any possibility of feathering. This is also documented almost not to show (pg 303 in the User Guide). :-( If I feather, the flow only feathers on pages with no chapter numbers! I have found no way around the anchored frame. Does anyone have a way around this problem? I am suddenly in a tight schedule as I have to deliver the final pdf tomorrow instead of next weekend. Thanks beforehand for any help. Bodvar Bjorgvinsson
