Re: [Framers] Numbered List Issue
You have to use a fundamentally different approach. Explicitly declare the whole numbering scheme for your nested lists (2, in this example): Level 1 = N+, A0 Level 2 = N, A+ Use your procedure-introduction heading to reset those numbering lists. Yes, a heading can have a numbering scheme, vidilicit: N=0 A=0 So you never need a 'first number' style. Dumbest idea that the intern at Adobe ever came up with. (That intern might be a VP of development, now, so... Ooops!) Bonus: conversation to DITA will be easier without an artificial/superfluous reset style. HTH. I'm not at a keyboard, and I've been out of FM for yonks. But that approach is right. David DCA:d.a.d.

I'm sure the answer to this is easy, but I can't figure it out. I have a list of numbered instructions. Within that list is an alpha sub-list under one of the instructions. When I finish the last alpha sub-list entry and revert to the numbered instruction list, the number continues counting from the last alpha bullet, not the previous numbered instruction. For example: 1. 2. 3. a) b) c) d) 5. Where "5" should actually be "4". The first numbered and alpha list steps have the following auto-numbering setups: .\t .\t Second and subsequent numbered and alpha list steps have the following auto-numbering setups: .\t .\t What am I doing wrong?

I think that you can set default document view in Document Properties. Probably requires Pro. David Artman DCA:d.a.d.

The user has to activate Two Page View in the View menu in Page Display. Best regards Winfried Am 18.03.2023 16:32 schrieb Theresa de Valence : Everybody is always so smart here, so I thought to ask. I have a 240 page pdf of Steam Combination Oven Cookbook for a Miele oven. The document orginally was made by Miele, but someone unknown inserted a reduced front+back cover as page 2 (which I have now removed to the back of the book). Now the document prints correctly. So the new problem is that a correct display in Acrobat in a Two Page View would be Single First Page, then a display of 2 + 3, 4 + 5, etc. How do I achieve this?

Re: [Framers] Graphics question
If you don't have 7-Zip, you can rename the file extension to . zip and then unzip it using the Windows zip file handler. David DCA:d.a.d.

If you right-click on the file name, you'll see a menu that includes 7-zip and an option to open the archive file. In the xl folder, you should see a media folder.

I have many Excel charts/graphics that I must incorporate into a manual. My SME has provided these graphics in an Excel spreadsheet, with one graphic per tab/sheet. I have Excel 2016, and there is a known issue that Microsoft NEVER bothered to fix in that the Save As Picture option on the graphic context menu (right-click the any border of the graphic to open the context menu) just got nuked/blown away after some long ago updates and never added back in to the menu, so the workaround is to right-click the graphic, select Copy, and then Paste the copied graphic into a blank PPT slide. You can then right-click on the graphic in PPT and the Save as Picture option is there, so I do this and then save the picture as a PNG and it looks just as expected with borders, legends . . . Nothing is missing in the pasted graphic. Now, in both the pasted graphic in PPT and in the saved PNG when opened in SnagIT, the bottom border of the graphic is clearly displayed - you can see all four borders (top, bottom, and right and left sides); however, when I then import the graphic by reference into an anchored frame in Framemaker (2019, 64-bit), the bottom border NEVER shows - I thought that maybe it was just a display funkiness in the source file, but when I save the source file as a PDF, and open the PDF and even increase the magnification, the bottom border is just not showing, so after I save the chart as a PNG in SnagIt, I then have to manually draw in the bottom border over the bottom border that is already displayed and then I can save the PNG and import it and the bottom border shows. Does this even make sense? If anyone has any ideas as to why I am seeing this quirk and what to do about it, I would sincerely appreciate it.
