Without making an assumption that FrameMaker users reside and work
primarily in the U.S.A., this is a long holiday weekend in the States,
so it certainly would account for a large reduction in queries and
banter on the list. I don't remember if I saw posts yesterday after our

Sorry, my response got stuck in my drafts outbox so the whole thread 
is pretty historical at this point.  :-)


Basically, I've been doing a lot of work on a book, and I cut a bunch of 
chapters.   What I was calling the data directory is the folder where 
I'm keeping all the FM files related to the book.  What I want to do is 
sort out that folder in some way so I can move the old, unused files to 
a dead director.  Mr. Ridder suggested that I run the update, and that 
would open, close, and save each file, and then I could just do a 
windows sort and move the older dated file.  Unfortunately, though, 
since I hadn't made any edits, only the TOC and LOF files changed.   I 
eventually went through and opened every file manually, changed one 
character, changed it back, and then closed it, and then manually purged 
out the data directory.  I'd just like to do this in some more automated 
way.  And I did remove the files from the book from within the book 
file,  but they apparently just get abandoned in the folder.


Thanks!

John

Some questions:
1. Does the [bookfile-name].book show all the files that you deleted
from the directory or place they used to be at? Then they should
really show the files with a preceding question mark.
2. Did you use the book file to move the chapter files?. Then they
should update.
3. Have you checked the Numbering setting of each file in the book
file? If it is set to a specific numbering, you may have to change it
there.
4. By data directory, do you mean the book file or the folder where
you keep the folders?

Best regards,

Bodvar Bjorgvinsson

Sorry, my response got stuck in my "drafts" outbox so the whole thread 
is pretty historical at this point.  :-)

Basically, I've been doing a lot of work on a book, and I cut a bunch of 
chapters.   What I was calling the "data" directory is the folder where 
I'm keeping all the FM files related to the book.  What I want to do is 
sort out that folder in some way so I can move the old, unused files to 
a "dead" director.  Mr. Ridder suggested that I run the update, and that 
would open, close, and save each file, and then I could just do a 
windows sort and move the older dated file.  Unfortunately, though, 
since I hadn't made any edits, only the TOC and LOF files changed.   I

Internal Xref in IDX

[donandjudy1]

Dear Framer Folks:

Has anybody ever used the <$nopage> index variable?

It's a good thing and a bad thing. When put into an index ref it will
generate whatever text you designate, usually "see also . . . " This saves
unnecessary duplication of entries, e.g. "Utility knife/Knife, utility."

BUT the actual link that's created links back to wherever the marker resides
within the book text. This effect would be confusing for digital readers.
They would want to go to that section of the Index referred to in the entry
text.

Do any of you sharing mentors have some sort of solution to this glitch?

Grateful in advance,

~ Don Spencer

I don't know of a way to handle this within FrameMaker. Have a look at 
http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/IndexRef/indexref.htm for information 
about a plug-in that helps with the handling of such references.

Try IndexRef (http://sundorne.com/FrameMaker/IndexRef/indexref.htm). 
It's a little utility I wrote to solve this problem. There is a 30 day 
evaluation available so you make sure it works before buying it.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
