Title: RE: Framers Digest, Vol 1, Issue 8
Hi,
I'm new to submitting questions/issues to this list but, hopefully, this is the way to start. (If it's not, I know somebody will let me know.)
My questions is this: Is there a way to globally update markers in a FrameMaker document? I use FM 6.0.
Thanks,
Ed Lightle

Sometime ago I sent this question. Please reply if you have seen
similarities when doing Service documentation
After updating Framemaker Adobe Acrobat and Framescript to latest
versions we eventually experienced that in tables with X-refs the
first cell from left still has its X-ref function while the rest
have no X-refs function. This is also the case in text if we have
two X-refs with different destinations the first from the left is
still a X-ref while the next has lost.
Has anyone on Framers experienced this?
Best regards
James Mathias Brandal

If you have software that can open an old Microsoft
.WDB file (circa 2000), would you please contact me
off-list? We no longer have the software on any of
our PCs, and there's some document history information
that we want to retain. Even a text-dump would
suffice.
Thanks,
Mary

Sarah O'Keefe and Sheila Loring's excellent FrameMaker 7 'complete reference' book gives a method for setting up bleed tabs (thumbtabs) that requires manual deletion of unnecessary tabs (i.e. all but the current chapter) in production edit. Within structured FrameMaker, is there a way of automating this?
What is needed is a means of rendering objects visible/invisible depending on their chapter number. Perhaps some way of making conditional tags sensitive to their context in the book...?
Another approach I've tried is to include a rotated B flow flush to the page edge and insert the bleed tabs as conditionalised anchored frames. This allows tabs to be turned on and off with conditions, but I don't like these objects being on body pages, and it doesn't get round the issue of making them sensitive to chapter number.
Failing that, I guess it could be done using the feature for mapping master pages to paragraphs, but I cannot see it working out very elegantly, as one would have to hack some sort of 'hidden' mapping between chapter number and paragraph tags.
Any ideas, anyone
