I'm publishing a book into Amazon's Kindle format, mobi, and was hoping
someone knows how to force a page break by adding it to a FM para tag or
other FM code.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Art

Hi Art,
I don't know if there is a way to do this directly from FM12 to mobi. If you go
to Epub, you can modify the CSS to give you page breaks then convert the Epub
to mobi. There are two CSS declarations that you can try:
page-break-before: always;
or
page-break-after: always;

Unfortunately this CSS setting isn't honored by most readers .. Kindles
are typically worse in this regard than EPUB readers.
The only guaranteed way to get a page break is to force the content into
a separate content file in the package. You should be able to do this by
starting a
Thanks, Rick and Scott -- the embedded tag start at top isn't working, so
it looks like the file will be sliced and diced a bit.

What if you sent it to ePUB first and then used Calibre to convert it to MOBI?

That's kind of along the same lines I was thinking -- if it's a direct
output format, it should be idiot proof. But I enjoy pushing the
boundaries. ;- )

EPUB will have the same problems. Most readers don't honor the
page-break CSS rules, so that can't really be used. If you want page
breaks, you'd have to have the content in separate FM files to start with.

That's basically what FM12 does. It generates an EPUB then converts it
to MOBI using the KindleGen utility (better than using Calibre, IMHO).

Hi Framers:
I have just converted many heavily footnoted Ms Word files to FM 11.
The translation was more or less successful but the algorithm added a pesky
space before the text of each footnote.
Is there a code I could search for that would make this tedious job easier?
(I am already yawning
In the Find dialog, select the Use wildcards option. Then in the Find Text
box, type:
[0-9]
This will find any digit between 0 and 9, inclusive. It's got some
limitations--it will find multi-digit numbers one digit at a time, and it will
not find numbers that are the result of autonumber
Hi,
I usually find copying the offending character directly off the text and
pasting into the find field in the Find/Replace dialog, then replacing
all with nothing works.
Fred helped with the numerical/string value thing.

Hello,
Hope you are well. Some of you may have heard about the recent change with
Creative Suite 6 being discontinued via CLP/TLP programs. Please see my recent
blog post about the continued availability of Adobe Tech Comm products on
CLP/TLP programs. Let me know if you have any questions.
I'd call Adobe support on that. MOBI is one of FM12's native output
formats and if it's not creating page breaks in the same places as
other formats, that's a bug.
