RE: trouble adding extra line to master page header

2007-11-06 Thread Lester C. Smalley
The ruling line is most likely now behind the expanded header text frame. You can grab it by dragging a box around it - be sure you start outside the header text frame and do not completely enclose the header frame with the selection rectangle. Or, you can select the header frame and send it

Hi all- How/why would a graphic imported by reference not show up in the LOR? I've found at least 4 graphics in two of my books that aren't listed in the generated LOR (All are imported by reference.) I'm using Frame 7.2 unstructured on Windows XP Pro 2002 SP-2, if that matters. Thanks!

Hi Jim... A quick test shows me that the name of the referenced inset is visible as plain text within the binary FM file (FM7.2). I can't say for sure that this is 100% reliable, but I'll bet that it is. You should be able to do a text search (using a reliable tool .. not the default Windows

Well, 7-8 weeks is sort of in a grey area, I think. Adobe and most other vendors that I'm familiar with will give you at least a 30-day window; Adobe sometimes extends the window beyond that. However, I disagree that we all knew that Adobe knew when the Suite was shipping; if they actually had,

I've learned of an error in a text inset for one of our manuals. It poses the obvious question of how many other manuals may carry the same error. Is there a streamlined way to determine which manuals may contain a particular text inset -- short of opening all 62 books and running the archive
