RE: Importing FM Text

Hi Nina, Are your cross-references really intra-file, meaning that they point to another paragraph not in the same chapter but in the same file which you import? Then that's no problem. However, if the cross-references point to another one of the 50 files of the same chapter, then you will get

Winfried, Yes, they are really intra-file. No cross-refs to any of the other fifty files. I did the import (all 50 of them) Saturday and everything seemed to work fine. Thanks for the info. Nina From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Reng, Dr. Winfried Sent:

How to add double line ruling to bottom of first row of table

I inherited a scripting guide with many tables. These tables all have one header row, with an associated paragraph tag, and multiple paragraph tags used within the subsequent rows. Some of these header rows have a double line ruling between the header row and the rest of the table. Some tables'

Thanks Rick, now that we've managed to structure error-free documents, we no longer get the Id attributes. Weird. Anyway, thanks for your reply, as usual! :) On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 4:53 PM, Rick Quatro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Jakob, These Id and Idref attributes are usually created to

Hi all: FM 8.0, Windows XP. A specific question here, but feel free to philosophize about the nature of disconnected and connected pages in general. I'm happy to learn. In my document, when I attempt to connect two text frames, I get a message that says Ok to use a text frame that isn't

Re: text frame that isn't visible

Based on your questions, it sounds as if there's something or some things wrong in your template. If I were you, I'd think about creating a new, clean template and applying it to any of your files/books that have the symptoms you're asking about. It sounds as if you're building stuff on what

RE: sdl trados and FM (translation)

Edwin, All of the conversion steps between FM and Trados and back can introduce errors and formatting loss. Alchemy Publisher v2.0 handles native FM files and also supports existing Trados Translation Memories. This simplifies the process by removing all the conversion steps. It's worth seeing a

Re: text frame that isn't visible

My own experience with connecting text frames where one isn't visible is when I have a frame with special text of some kind on one page, and then create an empty frame on another page down the line and need the text from the first frame to continue into the frame on the latter page. For

RE: text frame that isn't visible

The not visible frame may well be on another page that is not visible. I think that is far more likely than the layers, although that is also a possibility. The biggest thing is exactly as Art notes: the autoconnect property. This should be ON for all your main text frames, both on the body pages

Re: text frame that isn't visible

Thanks Lester: I just right-clicked my text frame and checked object properties -- the autoconnect box is selected. How can I add a page that isn't a disconnected page? The only way I know how to add pages is to keep hitting return until a new page shows up, or go to Special Add Disconnected

RE: text frame that isn't visible

Deirdre, if you have a paragraph tag (for example anchor) that is very very small (like 2 point font) and it is set to start at the top of a page, adding a paragraph with that tag will automatically create a new page and let you add the anchored frame on the new page To me, that sounds

RE: text frame that isn't visible

Deidre, Unless your template is broken, all you need to do is add your content. FM will add pages as necessary. You can also add a page break manually to any paragraph or use a paragraph with the Top of Page attribute. If the template is broken, in that no matter what you do you can't get it to

The illustration page has a text box and an anchored frame, and two lines of text: Figure Title and Figure Number. I import an illustration into the anchored frame, then add a second page, copy the anchored frame into the second page, and import the second illustration into that page, and etc.

Hi Richard: Thanks for this input -- you've helped me learn some things. I do need to have an anchored frame that is larger than the illustration I'm importing. However, I see that I can just choose "Below Current Line" for my anchored frame, and it automtically jumps to a new page. And the
