Hi Klaus, It still works, even in the latest versions of FrameMaker. However, the feature has serious limitations:
1) Table that split across pages cause problems. 2) The document's autonumbers reset on each page. 3) It doesn't work with structured documents. The main limitation was number 2 and I managed to program around these, but you had to follow very specific steps. A few people bought my solution, but it was pretty much a maintenance headache because people didn't always follow the rules. I do have one client that still successfully uses my process for a large document set. Try it for yourself. Open a FrameMaker document and press Escape p z. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc.

Dear all, In one of my older documents about FM I see a section about "point-pages": - FM function Freeze Pagination and Unfreeze (limited functionality) - Reference to Rick Quatro's plug-ins PointPages and PrintingPointPages with detailed documentation how to use. Nothing of this is left on Ric's site. For online-documentation there is no need for such a mechanism, because an updated version of a long document can be published without ruining the forests. But IMHO there are still paper demanding situations of thick manuals, which can not be re-distributed as a whole for every update. How are such situations handled nowadays?
