Conditional Text and Numbering

When you apply the condition tag, make sure all text symbols are showing and that you include the paragraph mark on the caption in the conditional text. martha At 03:40 PM 5/24/2006, Ariel Kahana wrote: >I am using Framemaker 7.2 on a Win XP SP2 platform. I have limited >experience with

I also use WebWorks. Creating online help from FrameMaker source is a bit more complex than just running the source files through a WebWorks template. It involves some amount of planning and organizing your source files, choosing a help format you want to produce, and creating a WebWorks

Anyone used Tortoise CVS with Frame Files

I use TortoiseCVS with Frame files. I mark both .fm and .book files as binary, so that each time I check in the entire file is replaced, and I don't use CVS Diff. Otherwise, everything works smoothly. What specific questions do you have? martha At 07:58 AM 3/14/2006, Neil Tubb wrote: >Just
