Re: Getting the title of each dita map to show up in output
Hi Steve... I don't think that you can. It appears that this build process is hard-coded by FM. If you're using DITA-FMx, which uses a special Book structure application to create the book from a map (from which you can generate the PDF), you can modify the XSLT used to aggregate the map and topic files into the output book, and you can set it up to include your map title (not the default). http://leximation.com/dita-fmx/ Cheers, ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com Steve Nelson wrote: Hi, Using FM10.

Re: Links to a specific page in a manual
Rebecca, You wrote: I learned this so long ago I can't remember; is there a way to write a hypertext marker so that you open a pdf manual on a certain page?

Re: Unknown File Type -- Corruption Problem?
Too bad about the file, but at least you can recover... Yeah, MIF-wash is always a good thing. If you have a large herd of files, download the MIF2Go eval from Omsys.com. It installs a MIF-Wash utility on your Files menu that lets you process books worth of files with one click. Stays active even if you don't buy MIF2Go. My take on it would be the thumb drive would be more stable than a hard drive because it's solid-state; no moving parts (unless you have a ruggedized hard drive). But Dropbox is the best, INHO, because it automatically backs up your entire project each day, so you have a big pool of old files to pick from in case something goes wrong. And it's free for 2+G.

Re: Getting the title of each dita map to show up in output
Hi Steve...

Here's a process that might help .. http://kb.leximation.com/dfm/?kbid=4 This was written for FM8-DITA which did have a separate map to book command.

"Unknown File Type" -- Corruption Problem?
If the problem is hard-drive related, I strongly recommend getting GRC's SpinRite. It's a low-level disk repair utility and has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. http://www.grc.com/spinrite.htm I'm not sure if it would work on an external drive (if it's though a USB interface). If the files are on your office PC, I'd suggest scanning that drive.
