Newbie question on ledger-sized pages
We are using Framemaker 8 (unstructured) to revise a manual and I want to do something I know how to do in Word but can't figure out how to do in Frame. The chapter I'm working on has about 100 pages of standard 8 1/2 x 11 text and graphics followed by 27 different ledger-sized (11x17) diagrams. Right now we have the graphics shrunk down and rotated sideways, but our SMEs are complaining they are too small to read. What's the best way people have found to integrate large diagrams in to a manual? I tried doing it as a separate chapter in the book, but even though I open both chapters, the cross-references are showing as unresolved. In Word I'd put in a section break, change the page size, and tweak the headers and footers but (since I have had very little training in Frame) I have no clue how to do this in Frame. Help me Framemaker mavens, you're my only hope. -- Eva Whitley, ETOSS Contract 301-713-1833x191 SSMC-2, 16129 ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: Newbie question on ledger-sized pages
You're using the correct approach, using two files in a book (separate chapters aren't required -- just two files, which can be set up as a single chapter). However, your problem seems to be resolving the cross-refs, not starting over with a new approach. Are both files in a book? Why can't you just resolve the cross-refs, save, and go on?
