Diane,

The book window can (as any pod) be moved around. Just grab its title 
bar and move it away from its docked location to a place of your 
liking. It docks only on places where you see a light blue line 
underneath the transparent item moved around.

But the location and size of the floating book window is not saved in 
the workspace (at least not in my test). It seams that only docked 
items ar stored in the workspace. IMHO this should be changed!

And - IMHO this is a bug - as long as only the book window is open, 
there is no selection of workspaces possible. One of the last used 
workspaces is active (and not the one used just before the current 
session). The workpace selection requires an open document.

TOC Trouble

2009-03-28 Thread Donald W. Spencer
Hello to all, especially Peter Gold:

Using Frame 7.2 on Home XP, SP3, I've created a problem with my TOC.

Awhile back, I generated a reduced TOC to submit to potential publishers as
an outline, but neglected to do so as a stand-alone.
I eventually deleted that TOC from the book and reinstated the previous,
full-sized and completely formatted TOC back into the book.
But this file has now lost its generated status and is not recognized by
Frame as such, so it does not update when I update the book.

Am I doomed to rebuild and reformatted the entire TOC from scratch, or is
there some way I can get Frame to recognize the old file as a generated file
once again?

I mentioned Peter G., because I was inspired by his response to an outline
question where he describes creating a separate TOC to use as a companion
outline. The need to generate a stand-alone isn't mentioned therein. But if
a TOC is already established, isn't creating a stand-alone the only way to
keep the first TOC working with the book?

Thanks in advance to all, Peter especially.

Re: TOC Trouble

2009-03-28 Thread Art Campbell
Donald, it sounds as if you're using the operating system's copy and
delete commands to manipulate files in the book.
Don't do that. Use the book tools.

To recover the generated TOC, in the Book file:

* Use the Delete Selected File From Book tool (trash can icon) to
remove the dead TOC file from the book.
* Use File  Add to add a TOC. Select the headings that you want to
include -- the ones that you had in your first generated TOC. Then
update to produce a TOC with working entries, but unformatted. Save
the file. Save the book file.

Then, pick one of these methods to continue:

1. Open the old, formatted TOC file.
* In the new TOC file, do Files  Import Formats. Select the old TOC
as the source file. Import everything -- all checkboxes.
* Save the new TOC.
* Update the book.

or
2. Close the book file and any other component files that are open in Frame.
* In Windows, use an explorer window to identify the new and the old
TOC files. Make a note of the new one's file name -- it will probably
differ slightly from the first version.
* Rename the new TOC by changing the extension slightly, like from fm to fm.bak.
* Rename the old formatted TOC to exactly the name of the new TOC.
Remember that the name is case-sensitive.
* Open the book again. Update. You should have updated content with
the old formatting.

Cheers,
Art

RE: TOC Trouble

2009-03-28 Thread Fred Ridder

Don't worry, Don, it's *much* easier than you think. It's also somewhat easier 
than the procedures that Art Campbell already posted.

As Art correctly stated, the first step is to remove the reinserted detailed 
TOC, which you added to the book as a static book component rather than as a 
generated file. Do this from the book window.

 

The second step is to identify the file that is the outline TOC and use Windows 
to remove it from the directory where the book file and the chapter files 
reside. You can keep it if you wish, but you'll probably want to give it a new 
name that helps you identify how/why it's different from the live TOC.

 

The third step is to place the file for the formatted, detailed TOC (or a copy 
o fthe file) into the directory you're using for the book and to give it the 
proper name. The magic name is booknameTOC.fm, where the string bookname is 
the name of the book file (without extension). 

 

The last step is to set up the book file to generate/update the TOC as you want 
it. 

If you did, in fact, remove the outline TOC from the book file already, you 
need to set up for a new TOC using the AddTable of Contents command from the 
book file. (You do *not* want to use FileAdd as Art recommended in his first 
procedure, because that adds it as a static content file which will never be 
updated.) In the Set Up Table of Contents dialog, select the paragraph tags you 
want to include, verify that the specified suffix is TOC (to match the way you 
remnamed the formatted TOC file), and click OK. Then in the Update Book dialog, 
click Update. At that point FrameMaker will look for an existing file with the 
expected name (booknameTOC.fm), and since it finds one it will update that 
existing formatted file rather than generating a new, unformatted TOC. 

If, on the other hand, the book file still includes a generated file icon 
(which is different than a static content file icon, in case you've never 
looked closely) for the now unwanted outline TOC, you need to highlight that 
file in the book window and then choose EditSet Up Table of Contents to revise 
the list of paragraphs to include. Once you've selected the para tags for your 
detailed outline and verified the correct suffix string, proceed to update the 
book and you're done.

Diane,

The book window can (as any pod) be moved around. Just grab its title 
bar and move it away from its docked location to a place of your 
liking. It docks only on places where you see a light blue line 
underneath the transparent item moved around.

But the location and size of the floating book window is not saved in 
the workspace (at least not in my test). It seams that only docked 
items ar "stored" in the workspace. IMHO this should be changed!

And - IMHO this is a bug - as long as only the book window is open, 
there is no selection of workspaces possible. One of the last used 
workspaces is active (and not the one used just before the current

I'd try renaming the generated file, adding a new generated TOC to the book
and then import the format from the old file. You'll have to update the book
file again after importing the format, but it would save hand-formatting.

Don't worry, Don, it's *much* easier than you think. It's also somewhat easier 
than the procedures that Art Campbell already posted.

As Art correctly stated, the first step is to remove the reinserted detailed 
TOC, which you added to the book as a static book component rather than as a 
generated file. Do this from the book window.



The second step is to identify the file that is the outline TOC and use Windows

name that helps you identify how/why it's different from the "live" TOC.



The third step is to place the file for the formatted, detailed TOC (or a copy 
o fthe file) into the directory you're using for the book and to give it the 
proper name. The "magic" name is booknameTOC.fm, where the string "bookname" is 
the name of the book file (without extension). 



The last step is to set up the book file to generate/update the TOC as you want 
it. 

If you did, in fact, remove the outline TOC from the book file already, you 
need to set up for a new TOC using the Add>Table of Contents command from the

If, on the other hand, the book file still includes a generated file icon
