told the team that he couldn't make it into the office 'due to the

Thanks, Art.  As I wrote to Fred, we are grasping for anything at this 
point - there are so many now-broken references and (of course) little 
time. We do use IXGen here, so we can give that a try.

muck with markers, IXGen accomodates all types of FM markers, not just
index markers. So that would be my tool of choice...

the marker/paragraph option in the Cross-Reference dialog.
That option does *not* change anything about the cross-
references themselves. The option only changes the
information that is displayed in the dialog.  In the one case,
the dialog presents you with a list of existing x-ref markers

Hi, all,

I checked the archives and the power tools list, but didn't find 
anything.


Does anyone of a plugin (or is this a job for Framescript?) that 
would crawl through a document and change cross references from a 
reference to a type=marker to type=paragraph?


We have a reference guide that went from structured to unstructured, 
and now we have several thousand cross references that are looking 
for a marker that's not there.


Surely someone's run into this. Is there any workaround?

Thanks, as always!

I was looking at some of the products at

and the FrameXLT plugin looks like what we need as we begin 
moving to structured docs.


Does anyone have experience with this one, and does it work 
well?


Thanks for any info,

Hi Frame gurus... I may have known this but forgotten. I checked the 
archives and the online help and didn't see anything there, so I'm 
coming to the folks who know.


I have numbered lists that I need to convert to tables. Is there a way 
to specify that the numbered lists show up in the cells down-then-across 
rather than across-then-down?


When I convert them now, the table order is:

1. |  2. | 3. |
___
4. |  5. | 6. |

and what I want is:

1.  |  3. |  5. |
_
2.  |  4. |  6. |


Thanks in advance!
