Crossreferences in text frames in anchored frames--way to preserve them when converting to HTML?
Is there a way to preserve crossreferences in text frames in anchored frames, which FM converts to raster images in converted HTML? I have a bunch of legacy FM source files that contain crossreferences in anchored frames, and they're lost when I use the FM's built-in FM-to-HTML conversion tool as well as WebWorks FM-to-HTML conversion tool. Does anyone know of a way that I can retain these crossreferences when converting to HTML? I've searched the Web to no avail. Suggestions? Help?

problem with TOC colors
I just moved a series of books to a new template and for some reason, some of the TOC entries in one of the books appear red. They should all be blue. The hyperlink works. Any ideas what's wrong or how to fix it? Thanks. b2 ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

Cursor blink rate affects FrameMaker stability?
Three writers on my team reported too-frequent crashes in FrameMaker 8, especially notable because it crashed disproportionately during idle time. (As opposed to crashes during one of our extremely complex FrameScripts that run 20 minutes or more... those usually completed fine.) We do not have any fancy keystroke interception code in FrameScript. Well, not yet anyway, I have a plan for some soon. :-) So, I wouldn't expect that any of our code affects this Idle-Crash issue. So, anyway i noticed one of the writers had a cursor that was blinking weird, irregularly. I checked the windows setting in: Start -> Control Panel -> Keyboard -> Cursor Blink Rate. His blink rate was set to the MAXIMUM setting. I set it down a couple notches. And his crashing problem went away! The two other writers checked their setting for that, and theirs were set to the MINIMUM setting (no blink). They set theirs UP a couple notches. And their crashing problems reportedly also went away too! Perhaps this is superstitious, but these three writers believe this change was what made stability improve. It's possible this issue is specific to folks with FrameScript, I have no idea. We all use FrameScript. I could easily imagine this being a system event Idle issue either in FrameMaker, FrameScript, or both. Anyway, if you are having crashing problems in FrameMaker, try setting this setting to somewhere in the *middle* of the range and see if that helps. If this change reduces your crashes noticably, PLEASE REPLY on the forum to this post with more information about your configuration. For example, that would clarify whether this is unique to FM8 or affects FM9 also, and whether this affects non-FrameScript users! Configuration for the team: * Win XP SP3 32bit (except 1 writer w/ 64bit, who was 1 of the 3 with the issue) * FrameMaker 8.0p277 * FrameScript 5.2R1 (some might be R2) For the record, there are other writers on the team, including me, who weren't experiencing these crashes. At least two of us had middle-of- the-range settings for this value (and no "idle time" crashes), I'm not sure about the other two writers. -- JX Bell JX Consulting ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Maximum number of variables in FM?

Diana, I have found out this for the length of variable contents: >From FM 8.0: up to 2023 Windows Codepage characters or up to 2022 UTF-8 characters. Concerning the maximum number of variable definitions you got an answer already (seems to be limited by RAM only). There may, however be a limit depending on other objects: The internal context table is a memory construct that holds many types of FrameMaker document objects. The following table illustrates the different entries and their requirements. element: 2 entries; variable: 2 entries; cross-reference: 2 entries; marker (any type): 1 entry; table: 1 entry; anchored frame: 1 entry; hidden conditional text: 1 entry per block. In FrameMaker 5.5, maximum number of entries is 2^24 (16 777 216).

Did you try opening it in FM (change the extension to .fm)? If that doesn't work, try the "heroic open" command. In FM, create a new empty file (you have to have a file open).
