Graphics as Bullet icons
I am trying to create a FrameMaker template that simulates a Word template. In the Word template, there is a bullet style that uses an image of a mouse as the bullet. I am hoping I can find it in a font set. I have looked at all of the Wingdings, Webdings, zapfdingbats, symbol, cannot find it. Does anyone know the font for this image and where it can be downloaded? Or, if I can create a graphic, can I incorporate the graphic into the para tag? Is there a way of twisting Frame Above or below to make it stick the graphic to the left of the text?

Our TOC page numbering begins on iii and goes as long as it has to, ending on an even page. Our Chapter 1 begins on the next page after the TOC page. So if the TOC is eight pages (iii-x), then the first page of Chapter 1 is 11. = To me, what you describe as not unusual is extra-unusual. The whole reason for using roman numerals in front matter is to allow the non-front matter to begin at arabic numeral 1. Your company's numbering scheme is counter-intuitive and dumb. I defy you to find any instance where professionally-published books of any type use the numbering scheme you describe.

TOCs at beginning of each chapter
I am attempting to develop a template where there is a TOC at the beginning of each chapter. Initially, I thought that the only way I could do this would be to create a book for each chapter. These books would contain nothing but the chapter file and an autogenerated TOC. Then, I would create a master book that contains each of the book files. Although FM allows me to add a book file to a book, when I attempt to Generate or Find, I get nothing but error messages. During Searches, FM says it cannot open the book files; during Generation, FM says it cannot generate because the master book file contains no openable non-generated files. I can open these books from the master book window by double-clicking, no errors. Another approach would be to figure out some way of including the TOC inside of the chapter file. However, I cannot think how I would get FM to do this. Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this, or, if you can confirm that it can't be done, that would help also.

Re: TOCs at beginning of each chapter
Hi David For your first technique, you have to add all the .fm files to the big book, not add the single-chapter books to it. We used this approach for a while, but found it a pain to have to keep opening and updating the small books. Also, you have to muck with your numbering scheme. In your single-chapter books, the chapter numbering needs to use read from file and in your big book it needs to be continue numbering from previous file in book. Then in the production process, update the big book first to get the chapter numbers right. And ignore error messages about inconsistent numbering. Instead of this, we now create stand-alone TOCs and import them into each chapter as a text inset. The book update process doesn't generate these, but we have a framescript to update them in a single step. If you're interested I can ask our scripter if I can pass it on to you.

Tables
I have some tables that are not breaking properly across pages, meaning there are a few rows on one page and the rest on the next page. What can be causing this? I checked the paragraph formatting and it's defined as Anywhere. Any ideas? -- Regards, Shmuel
Keep with prev/next in Tables (was: Tables)
Hello Shmuel, A few ideas... Open the Table Designer and, under Basic, check the Orphan Rows setting. You can also select rows that you want to keep together and use Table > Row Format to configure if a row should keep with next/previous. That combination should help out with keeping tables tighter. The paragraph settings only apply to the paragraph that contains the table, not to the table content.
