Hi Diane
I'm using the following:
- PNG for line art and screen shots in my HTML-based output (CHM,
webhelp...), because GIF supports only 256 colors
- EPS or PDF for line art in my PDF output. In FrameMaker, PDF has a
better preview than EPS

Hi Michael
See my comments below ().
Sigh! I had hoped that never change a working feature had been the motto,
but apparently, it wasn't. I miss the good old FM 7 UI already. Some people
may find it ugly, outdated and not Adobe-like at all, but at least it
worked.
Looking forward to 9.0.2 soon.
Hi Clint,
Here's what a quick Google found. I'm not berating you for not looking; I'm
just building my troubleshooting skills for my own use. (Of course, I'll
keep relying on this list for its vast learning opportunities).
OLE images, especially on SP3:
I have a table with footnotes that apply to several cells. I use one
real footnote reference and a few more look-a-like references that are
just subscript numbers. Is there any right way to do this so that all
the numbers are automatically updated when I add another footnote?
For example:
The way I've always done this is to use cross-references to the footnote item
for the additional reference points. Just create an x-ref format that specifies
the $paranumonly building block with a superscripted character format applied
to it.
