automating FrameMaker 10 + RoboHelp 9 build

I'm looking into automating a time-consuming build process and am curious if anyone has done this successfully. I know how to do it (I've done similar things in the past with DZbatcher, ANT, etc.), I just don't want to start the project if I know that it's not possible, or if these are the wrong sc

I'd be a lot more likely to praise FM10 if it didn't crash at the drop of a hat, or at least at the touch of a CT display control pod! Adobe wouldn't really like to publish our stories. Cheers Rebecca >>> "Georg Eck" 03/23/12 10:14 AM >>> New FrameMaker Quote and Review Sheet: http://bit.ly/GG

If I understand you correctly, why not just turn on titles for the table, set the title to be above the table, and then assign your Heading 3 or 4 paragraph tag to the table title? The table title stays with the table. The only possible downside is that table titles repeat at the top of each su
