RE: Unresolved Cross References

[James Dyson]

Howard,
Check your reference pages if you haven't solved the problem yet. We had
a similar issue here. My supervisor was using the reference pages to
paste text blocks as a sort of clipboard. In one of those text blocks,
he had a cross-reference. It wouldn't show up when we created a list of
unresolved cross-references, but an error message would detect that
there was one somewhere.

Jim D.

Perhaps someone has a suggestion about how to resolve this. I have
just?resolved all unresolved cross references in a 50-page document.
When I search for any unresolved cross references, I get a message that
none are found. Yet when I want to open or print the document, I get a
message stating that the document has unresolved cross references. Is
this?another FrameMaker glitsch?

Weird little anomoly...

[Art Campbell]

This just started yesterday, after an IT security upgrade that I
suspect contained the usual Tuesday Microsoft patches.

XP Pro SP3
FM 7.1, patched up to date

What's happening is something that I haven't seen in Frame before,
runaway processes.

Working in a book file, spell check refused to end. It reached the
last chapter in the book, then just kept on running. I got status
messages that spelling was OK, but it never stopped.

AND... in both a book and file level FindReplace, it doesn't stop
searching. Just goes on and on and on...

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Art

FrameMaker --
  Using FrameMaker files on server

2008-10-22-03T17:30Z

FrameMaker gurus -

Windows XP Professional SP2
CPU: 2.4 GHz
RAM: 2.0 GB
FrameMaker 7.1p116
WebWorks Publisher Professional for FrameMaker 2003 8.0.82296
GigaBit set at 1000

I've seen some strange behaviors by both FrameMaker and WWP Pro.

I have heard it said or have seen it written to the effect that
FrameMaker has problems working with files on a server.

Given the setup:
  1. FrameMaker and WWP Pro programs (individual licenses) installed
on workstation on LAN
  2. FrameMaker (.book and constituents) and WWP Pro production files
on server on LAN
  3. corporate standard setup — rather than having files on
workstation under, say, My Documents folder

¿What are the considerations, potential glitches, and gotchas? ¿Things
such as incompatibility between speed of FrameMaker and WWP Pro
programs on workstation getting info to and from files on server?

Advise, please.

Thanks!

Reasons for using graphic and table anchor tags

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Framers,

I don't need convincing; I use specific tags to anchor all of my graphics
and tables, but sometimes I find it hard to explain why.  What are some of
your reasons for always anchoring tables and graphics to specific para tags?

When I explain this to students, they have trouble with the concept and why
they should bother. I need more ammunition for the why.

Dedicated pgf formats give you greater control of the page layout --
spacing above and below, span or don't span columns/sidehead (for
tables), keep with next/previous, start at top of column/page ... 

Sure, you can do most things some other way without dedicated anchor
pgfs, but I think it's generally harder.

Underlining index entries

[John Sgammato]

Does anyone have an easy way to underline the page numbers only in an
index entry? Or to make them blue? They are live links in the PDF so I
want to show that, but I don't want to underline the whole entry. 
Actually, I am not really sure I want this. Somebody else does. I have a
very faint memory of seeing such a thing and finding it unattractive and
downright distracting. But I should follow up anyway and let the boss
decide for himself.

Sure.  In your IX file, go to the reference page named IX,
and find the line(s) containing $pagenum.  Apply a character
format to that whole line with the properties you want.  Save,
regenerate the IX from the book, and all your page numbers
(but not the index entry text) will have the properties you set.

Multiple Flows?

are multiple flows with the same tag and they will be ignored.

How to I find multiple flows with the same tag and combine them?

This message is often related to text frames with "A" flow present in the 
reference page(s) of the documents being compared (which is of no practical 
significance and should have been ignored).

I suggest starting by inspecting the reference pages for such text frames 
and fixing as necessary (Graphics > Object Properties; clear the tag name).

Yes! To quote the intro to the TV show "Outer Limits," "There is
nothing wrong with your set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We
will control transmission..."

The IT update probably enabled a hidden "future technology" switch in
the spell checker. You're seeing a spell checker that tries to keep up
with the constantly-changing English language, in real time.

Easier to find and modify if you don't have to worry about the impact
on associated text.
or...
It's a special tag for a special kind of content.

Double entries in TOC

[Charlie Kyle]

How does FM know what TOC style to associate with a heading style? I
have three instances of TOC entries that show up twice: once correctly
and once incorrectly. The duplicated TOC  entries each use a different
style. The style for the correct is an override. Is there a way to tell
what part of the style causes the override?

Here's a rough sample:

Sure.  In your IX file, go to the reference page named IX,
and find the line(s) containing <$pagenum>.  Apply a character

regenerate the IX from the book, and all your page numbers

Unresolved Cross Reference

[good...@deskmedia.com]

Hi,
Sometimes when I have missing fonts, the unresolved cross-reference
message appears.


-
Perhaps someone has a suggestion about how to resolve this. I have
just?resolved all
unresolved cross references in a 50-page document. When I search for any
unresolved
cross references, I get a message that none are found. Yet when I want to
open or
print the document, I get a message stating that the document has
unresolved cross
references. Is this?another FrameMaker glitsch?
