I am working with XML files in FM 7.1.

Michael,
If I remember correctly, typing a string such as \d in a Frame dialog box is a
way of typing a special character, in this case the dagger character.
I believe the way to put the directory separator in is to use the unix-style /,
ie a forward slash like this:

Hi, Roger:
The property is saved in each file.
You can set the property for multiple files by selecting them in a
book window and using View Show (or Hide) Element Boundaries, then
perform Shift+File Save All Files In Book.

Instead of using message openfile, try message URL.

You may need to add %20 html syntax for spaces in file names, but I'm not sure.
If so, your marker would look like this:

For XML files, you need to set this property in the template associated

Are any of your missing filename changes in the same topic?
When eP scans each Frame/Word source page, it uses the filename marker to
rename the page. But, if further down the same Topic page it finds another
