FrameMaker graphic counter question

2009-06-05 Thread poshe...@bellsouth.net
(FM 8.0 on an HP Pavilion with Windows Vista) And yet another question for Framers. My TOC problem "seems" to be taken care of, and the transparent background for graphics question is on the back burner because now there's another "hot" issue: page appearance. The company (a heavy equipment

FrameMaker doc "attributes" report
