Hi All,
I have found a problem with exporting a FM8 book to PDF.
When I export/save as PDF and then open the file in Acrobat I will usually find
that some of my information (Headers, table rows, variables, etc...) are
missing from my PDF, even though they are present in the FM8 file.

numbering, but she has similar pages on bullets, single-level lists, and
many other Word features.

The tutorials are already on the web, Lester. You may have to search for them a
bit. I no longer have the URLs. Maybe others on this list do.
And as another poster replied, it's essential that everyone who touches a Word
doc knows how to handle the numbering (and uses the same Word template).

Ron,
No two API docs are exactly the same, but usually they're pretty simple. It
helps if you've done a little programming or scripting. Here are a couple sites
to get you going:http://api-writing.blogspot.com/

Glad to know it's not just my setup. I guess we can file this one
under "bug."
Incidentally, when I ran Update from the Help menu, I had to quit FM
manually while the update downloaded, otherwise the update failed. I

Apart from getting the author to reduce the title to some reasonable length,

You can could try opening the HTML file in a late-model Word or

either in FrameMaker, complete with styles. You can use FM's style

Hi Robin/Will (?)
I use autonumbering in Word all the time and have very few problems
with it. I've repaired more bolloxed autonumbering jobs than I can
remember.
Autonumbering in Word is fairly easy, once one knows how to do it.
I'd be happy to help anyone who needs help with autonumbering.
