Here is the process I have used in the past to remove title information from a FrameMaker document. Procedure to remove File Info from book files - this information is propagated in new files when the template is used and cannot be deleted. Process for removing: 1.Begin by making a backup of all of the files. 2.Open a file (I will use Preface as an example). Click File > File Info. Remove any "File Info" text. 3.Open a new blank document. 4.Import formats from Preface into blank document -- ALL except for Document Properties. 5.Import file (Preface) into blank document - File > Import > File, select "Copy into document" at the bottom of the screen, click Import and in the dialog box that opens, select "Retain Source Formatting". 6.Close the original Preface file. 7.Save the "blank" document as Preface. 8.Select Format > Page Layout > Column Layout. In the Column Layout dialog box, select the checkbox for Room for Sideheads and then click Update Entire Flow. 9.Close the file and reopen - the File Info should be gone.
I haven't used this in some time, but hope that it helps. ______________________________ Carole McCormick Technical Writer Sun Nuclear Corporation 3275 Suntree Blvd. Melbourne, FL 32940 Tel: +1 321-259-6862 x2282 Fax: +1 321-259-7979 www.sunnuclear.com -----Original Message----- From: Framers <framers-bounces+carolemccormick=sunnuclear....@lists.frameusers.com> On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2018 4:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Framers Digest, Vol 151, Issue 10 CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

In Frame, I can select this title text and then wrap it in the 'title' element, and that will validate. Frame will save the xml file with the 'title' element intact, but when the xml is then reopened, the title element is removed again. Related to your question, actual 'table' elements are converted to 'Table' elements and then 'Row' elements are inserted. Those elements are undefined and appear elsewhere. The above just seemed to be an easier issue to get through as there are still several... I'm fairly certain I have valid xml for the dtd, I just have problems with my structured application and am not sure where to look. I built the edd from a supplied dtd and imported the elements into a template file, but I do not map any formatting in the edd (it was simply built from the dtd). Then the rw rules are just from Adobe's structured app reference manual. I think there is something making Frame expect the 'title' element in a table and there is a connection to Frame's Table Title, but I don't see where that is defined. I suspect something is missing from my rw-rules file, which looks as such: fm version is "12.0"; /* * Include all ISO entity mapping rules. */ #include "isoall.rw" element "xref" { is fm cross reference element "Xref"; attribute "formatprop" is fm property cross-reference format; } element "table" { is fm table element "Table"; attribute "frame" { is fm property table border ruling; value "top" is fm property value top; value "bottom" is fm property value bottom; value "topbot" is fm property value top and bottom; value "all" is fm property value all; value "sides" is fm property value sides; value "none" is fm property value none; } attribute "colsep" is fm property column ruling; attribute "rowsep" is fm property row ruling; attribute "numcols" is fm property columns; attribute "colwidths" is fm property column widths; } element "tablehead" { is fm table heading element "TableHead"; } element "tablebody" { is fm table body element "TableBody"; } element "row" { is fm table row element "Row"; } element "cell" { is fm table cell element "Cell"; } element "graphic" { is fm graphic element "Graphic"; writer anchored frame { notation is "CGM"; export to file "$(docname).cgm"; } } Thanks, C2 --------------------- Hi C2, Is the <first_aid> element being converted to a FrameMaker table?

I clicked the Edit option on the Publish window and figured out how to add borders to my images...it works perfectly in ePub mode. I'll have to remove the borders from my FM documents and just use those instead. Probably will end up using conditional text to use my original image borders to show up in our PDFs. Can anyone suggest how to change the color of hotlinks? My cross-refs display in the normal blue when they're published, but I'm told to make them a different shade.

The only way I can think of to fix this is to not set the Publish process to not automatically add borders to any images. This means I will have to manually edit the CSS to add the 4 border statements for each of the images. But at least this way the equations won't have borders, even though they'll still be treated as images. Am I missing a better solution?

But we do it all manually: choose the file name, choose the location, all the rest. I just don't understand why someone thought carrying an old title over to everything ever created once you used that field for the first time was a good idea. It's been a bit of a week. Already. Oy. Thanks for the information, all, even if it's not what I hoped for. On Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 3:53 PM John Sgammato <[email protected]> wrote: > We update that information all the time.
