Our Marketing group wants us to use new templates that have room for a
sidebar. We won't actually use the sidebar for anything, and it's OK for
titles, images, and tables to extend into the sidebar. We may put notes
over there.
We have been able to do this with the Room for Sideheads feature, and
I just posted a question about importing formats from a sidehead-enabled
template.
Here's a related question:
Assuming we can make the sidehead template work, we'd like to be able to
put some content over there, while keeping it in Text Flow A. That works
fine for a single paragraph - the
Try using a table and putting the text in the table. It's the only way I've
ever found to make that all work.
That may screw up publishing to the KB, tho.

Did you try inserting a table under the sidehead, with the table entirely
in the sidehead area?
Or maybe use a spin on the two-cell warning-icon-in-the-sidehead, and have
a two column table with the left column matching the width of the sidehead
and the right the text column. Could probably do

I sent you a sample PDF, directly, of sidebars produced from an 800 page
XML file and opened into Structured Framemaker.
Are you using FM structured or unstructured?
Yes, you can only have one sidebar paragraph per textflow paragraph or it
opens up whitespace in the text flow, but you can
To elaborate John's point on the importing of formats from one file to
another, the problem seems to stems from the fact that when the template is
applied to another document almost all of the formats are applied except
for one -- the Room for Side Heads object property is disabled for the text
Long standing bug. I recall this in frame 4.

This is one of the more common and frustrating mis-conceptions I see in
the FrameMaker community that publishing to ePub and other newer
output formats requires structured FrameMaker. In fact, even when
working with structured source files, FrameMaker's style mappings are

Hi Theresa
As others have said, it doesn't have to be structured to become an eBook.
As an aside, be aware that ePub processes can make a mess of your formatting,
whether you are using structure or not: imho they are a work in progress. I
know this for a fact, having seen the mess that the
This is what I've tried with our unstructured documents and had good success
with EPub output.
We are so busy, I've only dabbled.
So, I'd say this is very good advice from Alan.

Using the unstructured book file, the epub comes out with the chapters
in the wrong order.

Nope - all the guts of FM's direct publishing come straight from the FM to RH
integration in TCS.
