Hi Framers,
I have a book file with a number of chapters and appendices. I use the
same book file for 3 manuals, which I control with 3 conditional text
tags.
One of the appendices is only used in 2 of the manuals. Can I make this
appendix conditional?
My fallback solution is to make a separate
Hi--
Does anyone know if FrameMaker works with Remote Desktop? I have this set up
and I find that several files I work with blow up. I do not have this problem
on other configurations, that is, not using Remote Desktop. I am on FrameMaker
7.2.
Any help is appreciated!

What is your objection to building two books? That's the way FrameMaker is
designed to work. If it weren't for the ability to build different books from
differing collections of chapters is the primary reason for the extra
comlication of the chapter/book paradigm.

The question I answered did not deal with multi-level (nested?) books. It was a
simple question about building two different deliverables from a mostly shared
set of component files. The answer to that question is that the method for

The Validate will also do things like checking for the existence of the

You'll get a nastygram from Frame if you put in the gotolink prior to
defining the newlink marker.

Hello, first post ever

within the context of a manual document template created long ago. I
have forgotten how we made a particular paragraph style and need to make
some more like it.
