Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make a trial run during my first Flare v4.2 project. I
imported FrameMaker 7.2 files as my sources, and for now at least, graphics
are included. However, I received an error message, both during FM import
and now, during WebHelp/WebHelpPlus output generation:
Compiler
Well, I just disabled the option Auto-reimport before 'Generate Output'. I
was then able to generate the WebHelpPlus output.
Apparently, the error below does not prevent me from importing source files
but it does stop everything when the import is included with the output
generation.
Still, I

Hi, everyone.
I'm working in a document with about 20 chapter files. Before I do a
book-level search, I usually have only one chapter expanded and all the
others are minimized at the bottom of the Frame window. During the
search, Frame expands every chapter and leaves them all expanded after

Hi Nancy...
I'm not aware of a way to do this using standard FM commands. Our plugin
FileTools provides a Minimize All command that does this. Grab the
30-day trial and see if it does what you want ..

Why not? Work in FrameMaker is an integral part of this process, and the

I don't understand you people. When did this become the Forum for FrameMaker
as Stand-alone only? By your definition, this list should also be out of
bounds for anyone using FrameMaker with another program.
So please, no more FrameMaker/Webworks questions please. Those of you who
want to import
Thank you! This was exactly what I remembered seeing in the past.

As I understand it there is no dialog operator to find that. I guess that is
the case because it is 'outside' the text flow and therefore is not searched

The FM help and book both list \f as being the sequence for finding the
