Linda,
I use FrameMaker 9. You will find straddled cells on the tool bar at the top
under Table, seventh option down Straddle.
Hope this helps.

Hello Framers,
I have a client that wants to include 4-color images in a FrameMaker 9 parts
catalog. Their printer wants a PDF four output. What is the deal with CMYK
printing from FrameMaker 9? I know there are some issues, but I don't know
exactly what they are and if there are any workarounds.
I don't know of any specific gotchas but I would review the color prep
documentation carefully before proceeding.

Hello Framers,
Hi all
Does anyone (Adobe) know why it takes 2 minutes and 52 seconds to open a
700-page Fm file in FramerMaker 9? The Fm file does not contain any
graphics, it's just an alphabetical list of paragraphs (*APL.fm).
Opening the same file in Fm 10 and Fm 8 just takes 1 second.
Thanks

Probably the easiest way would be to make a new 11x17 template page, not as
part of the main book master pages, and just insert the 11x17 page as a
component of the book, in the appropriate page relation to the main book. As
long as you don't try and copy page layouts from a normal
I have FM 9, but never added 11x17 as a master page. When I used 7.2 I always
made a file called Chapter 2 11x17 and created the master page for it. Once I
have the file done than I add it to the book and set page numbers so the number
correctly. All seems to work fine.
I can't think of any easy way to get FrameMaker to do this, because running a
graphic through the gutter is typically a problematic thing to do. If you're
delivering a PDF that anyone is ever going to turn into hard copies, they are
probably going to lose some amount of the graphic because
If Karl is trying to mix page sizes in one file, it cannot be done, as far as I
know.
