Re: [Framers] A FrameMaker bug or is something wrong with my files?

Hi Rick... Yes, that was indeed the problem. What is strange, though, is that I noticed this before I gave up and posted my query. I made the correction to the file name but perhaps I forgot to save the file and/or the book first before trying again to correct the problem. At any rate, it's

Re: [Framers] A FrameMaker bug or is something wrong with my files?

Check to see if the original file had 2 or more consecutive spaces in the file name or path. The hypertext marker will replace 2 or more consecutive spaces with a single space and that will cause a mismatch between the link and the file name. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc.

Re: [Framers] A FrameMaker bug or is something wrong with my files?

It was something to do with the file itself. The problem followed the chapter in question when I reversed their order, swapping chapter 1 for chapter 2 in the book. Since the two chapters were otherwise very similar, I deleted the troublesome Chapter 1 and saved a copy of Chapter 2 with a

Re: [Framers] A FrameMaker bug or is something wrong with my files?

If you find out what causes this, let me know. I have that issue in some of my books and it carries over into the PDF as well (FM 9 and 12) I've tried creating a new chapter file but the problem doesn't go away. Alison Craig Technical Documentation Specialist BK Ultrasound |

[Framers] A FrameMaker bug or is something wrong with my files?

OS: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit FrameMaker 7.2 Semi-knowledgeable, infrequent user I've managed to generate an otherwise proper and well-behaved TOC for my 48-chapter book. It looks good and everything seems normal so far, except for thise: the Alt-Control while clicking on the first

Re: [Framers] xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

Okay. So you're working in structured FM files (pseudo-DITA) generated from an FMx book-build. And you're adding a "link" to an unstructured FM file that's been added to the generated book? I think I get it now. In this case, adding an fm-xref won't likely work (might, but I've never tried

Re: [Framers] xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

Some of the files are FM generated from XML using your plugin. Others are FM created in Frame. The ones generated from .XML have elements, the others don't. Both sets are edited with FM set to the structured INTERFACE, but only the Frame on the server is in a structured environment. Which is where

Re: [Framers] xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

Ah .. so aren't they "DITA" files rather than FM files? If they are DITA files and are in the same ditamap which is built into the same book then PDF .. then yes, just insert a fm-xref, select the target DITA file, then select the target element, and you should be good to go! But this doesn't

Re: [Framers] xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

Oh, dear. I think I've misled you. Both FM files are in the same book, which is turned into a single PDF file. Everything is internal to that PDF file. I have done it before, I'd simply forgotten I had to do this down on the server. It's been a stressful couple of weeks, and my brain went to

Re: [Framers] xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

I don't care if it works in Frame, as long as it works in the PDF! And I suspect part of the problem is, as I said, because I was not working in the fully structured environment we maintain on our server. FM2016 is set to the structured interface on my personal laptop (we all have it that way),

Re: [Framers] xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

FYI .. no, not possible (in a meaningful way) to create an xref from a DITA file to an unstructured FM file. In theory you could create an "external" xref to the FM file, but the best you could hope for would be that it would open the FM file in FM when the link was clicked (and likely that

Re: [Framers] xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

Never mind, figured out that (part of the problem) is that I was working with my local version of Frame, that has no links to an EDD/DTD. The server version (which does) works fine. Now to get the tools guy to upgrade the server from FM12 to FM2015, so I don't have to save down for everything.

[Framers] Fwd: xref from FM file created by DITA-FMx to unstructured Frame?

Is this even possible? I've got both files open, but when I try to insert an xref, I only get the DITA menu and it won't let me select anything but elements. Which the other file doesn't have, of course, it not being DITA/xml. I tried to email Scott directly, but I got a bounce, so I obviously

Re: [Framers] Unable to generate a TOC

Hi, Is your TOC file really a live TOC? How did you add this file to the book file? A live TOC must be added via "Add | Create Standalone TOC". Then you get the dialog to set up the table of contents. You can access this dialog also when you select the TOC file in the book and click "Edit | Set
