RE: .ps files; pdf creation; crash logs; pilcrow end of flow marker issues Dear Framers: thanks to the excellent responses I am again a happy camper churning out the huge indexed pdfs I love (but nobody reads).
Here is a report back on what I found. The end of flow marker appears to be my problem, a result of importing files from different sources, e.g. PageMaker, Word (many versions across the world) and WordPerfect five. Word definitely causes a problem and Framemaker makes that end of flow marker into a symbol after the pilcrow (end of para marker) *on its own line* in the following form. Body Script12BT font justified regular Nothing seems to change that "Default font" etc. all tried. Penelope Perkins added a few helpful lines which suggests that I am not alone in the universe. Penelope's help- That said, being unable to change its tag is a weirdness that occasionally visits Frame files for reasons unknown. I used to have some with this same problem. This sometimes works: Save the file as MIF and open it in a text editor. Go to the end of the file and see if you can find a line containing "<PgfLocked Yes>". If so, change the Yes to No, save the file in the text editor, then open it again in Frame and try retagging that last paragraph with another para tag. end of Penlope off list Deleting the space before as suggested moves the problem to the previous para. Dumping some text before the end of flow marker worked sporadically. Deleting the Body font and exiting also had some success. The end of flow marker also occurs in every footnote. But no problems there, ever. Thanks again Rob Prof. Robert C.-H.
