add text to the front end, that override is going to force a Top of

Create a special paragraph format called PageBreak. Give it a large Space:

Hi there,
I recently upgraded from Frame 7 to Frame 8. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat so I
could use the PDF Creation add-on. But I cannot seem to PDF my books. Is anyone
else having this kind of trouble?
Thanks

We don't now remember having *uninstalled* anything about FM
before upgrading Acrobat.
The good news is that it's easy to tell whether the PDF Creation Add-on is
*still* uninstalled.
Follow the usual Start Settings Control Panel path if the add-on is still
installed, it will

This is scary. We are presently using versions 8 of Adobe FrameMaker

You cannot simultaneously have both the FrameMaker "PDF Creation Add-on" and
Acrobat installed on the same system. The "PDF Creation Add-on" is really a
castrated
version of Acrobat 8 Distiller. Does the Technical Communications Suite really

the installation of the "PDF Creation Add-on" or
Acrobat is included in the Tech Comm Suite.
Therefore FM doesn't ask to install the helper application, according

Hi all, good morning.
FM 8.0, XP.
This is really a best practices question.
A couple of weeks ago, there was a discussion about overrides, and how
they should be used rarely or not at all.
So I thought about that and started to watch our use of overrides.
We use overrides all the time. For

In my opinion, Top of Page type overrides to force improved pagination
much more acceptable than other types of formatting changes. One of the
last steps in our process is to go through the document and check for
awkward pagination. Then we move figures and tables around or force a
If you want a page layout that FrameMaker cannot deliver automatically,
then overriding the template for the printed output is your only option.
The alternatives are to devise a template that produces a flawless page,
or at least an acceptable one, every time; or to lower your standards
for
Fine-tuning the layout as the very final step before print is really the
only place where such overrides are acceptable. Then, when starting the
update for the next edition, import formats from the template (or
document itself) and remove overrides so you are back to only using the
defined
Overrides that are created during the final editing and layout pass,
to control page, frame, and column breaks, can be removed in one
action by using File > Import > Formats to import the file into
itself, and choosing to remove overrides. Of course only remove these

Thanks all -- the concensus seems to be to create a special tag that I
can add to force the page break without creating an override.
Lester, to answer your question, there are times when we want the
whole paragraph to stay together. In Word, we highlight the paragraph
