corrupted paragraph format from 7.2 to 8

Thanks, Art. I'm not actually sure where to pick the character. In the Numbering tab of paragraph designer, Autonumber Format is selected and \t?\t is showing in the building blocks field. When I have created new paragraph tags in the past for which I needed bullets, I usually select an existing

Importing single variable values?

Hi Charles If all your system variables have the same value in all files in the book, you can make an import-from FM file and delete the variables you don't want, then import variable definitions from that file. Problem is, you can't delete system variables. But you can with a "mif fragment".

RE: Importing single variable values?

You only need to muck with MIF files when importing variable formats because FM has this really annoying feature of not letting you remove the system variables, so a MIF fragment is the only way to make a "template" that doesn't have them. That's the problem with the "third variant" from Grant and

The dreaded Internal Error error meets the dreaded Adobe support, sigh

Emily, First, the version of Acrobat you're using has been updated/patched twice -- current version is 7.0.9, so updating may be a Good Thing. As other people have asked, can you find another FM system and try to print from that? And, given all the other stuff that you've tried, it sounds to me

corrupted paragraph format from 7.2 to 8

I have a problem when someone with version 8 uses the template I created with version 7.2. The Bullet level two does not appear as a round bullet. It appears as an open quotation mark. Any ideas what is causing that and how to fix it? Currently, she has fixed the file by copying in a bullet from a

David, Fred's suggestion would certainly work. And because it's a secondary bullet, you could flag that with an increased indent and/or smaller font size on the bullet itself (applied with a character tag). Cheers, Art On Jan 14, 2008 10:59 AM, Fred Ridder wrote: > > David Kuhn asked> Thanks, Ar

Most likely, whatever character you used for the bullet in 7.x has a different glyph attached to it in the Unicode supporting FM 8.x. "Fixing" it would involve picking a new character from a font with a lower mapping number that's the same in both 7.x and 8.x, such as the default bullet. Cheers,

Hi Emily How frustrating! I can't remember if you've tried this, but if not: can you PDF a completely new blank file? If not, I'd say either your Adobe PDF printer is stuffed, or FM is. Seeing as you can PDF okay from Word, my money's on FM. :-( You should be okay with uninstalling FM then rei

Thank you Jeremy. I wish this was spelled out explicitly in the OLH for Framemaker. It's not there and it's definitely not in the Adobe FM user's Guide either. I would never have thought to look under Table Designer for Footnotes - in fact, this behavior is not mentioned anywhere when you search on

RE: corrupted paragraph format from 7.2 to 8

I would strongly concur with Art on this one. This problem of the "changing bullet" is only one of a number of anomalies that one will likely encounter migrating to FrameMaker 8 from any earlier release. FrameMaker 8 uses Unicode. There is one and only one "code point" for any specific character.
