Hi, please consider this: I have a structured book with a large number
of components. The book structure conforms to the EDD, i.e. validating
the book works. The top element of the book, book has a @status
attribute that can be either draft or publishable. In the
component files, I have xrefs that
Unfortunately, Word does not make it as easy to link/reference the
graphic as other programs do.
It was always dead easy for me. Just get up the Insert Picture browser,
select the pic you want to insert, and then select the Insert mode. That was
from Word 2003. What's happened since 2003?

Hi all,
RE: FM72. Tool to quickly makes loads of cross-refs?

Hi,
My company are about to upgrade us from FM7.1 to FM9.0 (Win XP).
Can anyone point me to a getting started guide or similar for FM 9.0, or
other useful help for getting going with FM 9.0?
Thanks very much,
Lynn

And a P.S.:
As long as your company is spending some bucks to upgrade to 9, GET THEM TO
SPRING FOR A SECOND MONITOR if you don't have one already.
Big productivity boost, especially with the new FM 9 UI because you can put
all the damn pallets in the second window...
Cheers,

Not disagreeing, Richard, but I suffered through months of this on a
contract job where the files were shared among several writers. And it's
recurred occasionally in other 7.x environments. Ain't saying it couldn't

It's been a while since I used ID, but I believe the InCopy add-in can

If that doesn't work, I'd try going ID PDF RTF (via Acrobat).

The user interface is likely to be the biggest thing you'll need to
learn/re-learn, but nothing has gone away -- just several new tools added.
So your 7 skills should transfer pretty easily.
Things to be aware of:
- FM adopted unicode character support in v 8, so you may have to redo
some
