Wrong font in index page numbers: FIXED
Thanks to Craig and Greg for contacting me on this. The fix was to delete the index document and allow FrameMaker to regenerate it. I think I might have scrambled things by importing reference pages from other indexes. Not an explanation, I know, but a cure ;-) -- Steve
Wrong font in index page numbers
Can someone remind me (off-list if you like) how one controls the format of page numbers in an index? I'm combining 'Index' markers and a custom marker: the format of the page numbers of the index entries formed from 'Index' markers are correct, but the page numbers (but not the body) of the index entries from the custom markers have defaulted to Times New Roman. I have tried following the procedure of putting a named character tag in the reference page entry to the left of '<$pagenum>', but without success. -- Steve

Wrong font in index page numbers
I sent Steve something offlist, but I pretty sure you can correct that with the < before the page numbers on the reference pages (not at a FM machine right now). I'm sure we did something like this back in Frame 3. I know we never did the kind of search and replace you seem to be describing. Oh, FM3! Those were the days, weren't they?

Chunking FM files into Topics for RH
The big plus with using paragraph tags is that you are defining general rules with exceptions, so can make global changes. For example, if you have been breaking at Heading 1 and Heading 2, but want to add breaks for Heading 3, it's one change in RoboHelp, plus applying Heading 3 Nobreak in FrameMaker for the topics where you don't want breaks. With markers, you'd have to add a marker for every Heading 3 except those where you don't want breaks. General rules are not enforced by the application so there's no way to make global changes. In the long run, I think that would be a lot of unnecessary extra maintenance work and over time you'd be likely to accumulate errors as a document passes through the hands of various authors and editors. Using paragraph tags also makes it faster and easier to see how any individual heading is set or change it.

why is FM's UI so weird and buggy?
Adobe's OWL UI doesn't look or feel much like Office 2010 to me. On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 8:19 PM, wrote: > The interface on all the other products, even those that support the Mac OS > are slavishly devoted to Microsoft design efforts.
FM-to-RH users' list?
I found the RoboHelp FM integration forum helpful. http://forums.adobe.com/community/robohelp/robohelp_framemaker Though if you have the budget, this would be the time to switch to a different tool.
