FM 8 - Change Bars

2009-04-29 Thread Linda G. Gallagher
Ah, it does work if the anchored frame is set to At Insertion Point, but it does just the short line if you have it set to Below Current Line. I think that's what I was thinking about. I frequently shrink wrap graphics, so they end up set to At Insertion Point. Another way that I sort of works, bu

I believe that I've "faked it out" by enter a space in my anchor tag for the anchored frame. I'm not in FM right now, but I think that will put the change bar along the entire anchored frame. ~ Linda G. Gallagher TechCom Plus, LLC lindag at techcomplus dot com www.techcom

My thanks to Richard Combs and Fred Ridder for their help. I found out that I didn't have the Adobe PDF installed (contains Acrobat Distiller). For some reason, when I installed my Frame8, Adobe PDF did not tag along... Thanks again, Gerry Olow

What I've done is set up the anchored frame in AutoText. Set to Outside Text Frame and Side farther from binding. In the frame I've put a line that is the same colour and width as Frame's change bars, and the same distance from the text. The Aframe is only about 1cm square, but the line exte

Hi all, Is there a way to eliminate the first three characters and last four characters from a cross reference's output that uses the building block to link? Or is there an alternative variable that can be made to do similar? Thanks Alan -- Alan Litchfield MBus (Hons), MNZCS AlphaByte PO Box

Hi Linda, That only puts a short bar with the paragraph and does not extend the full length of the anchored frame. Which is the really annoying thing. This is what I have suggested and seems to have got around the problem unless something better emerges: > In the past (in flight manuals, for

This is a possible solution to my problem below. Is there a variable/building block that allows me to use the Marker Text that can be entered into the Marker dialog instead of the standard set (,...) that reads the paragraph text and places that into the cross reference in the list? Here's hoping

I'd be interested to find out about this too. I've always put change bars on graphics manually (a line in an anchored frame). Does mean I have to remember to remove them later, but not too much of a problem. Alan Litchfield wrote, on 30/04/2009 8:52 a.m.: > Hi all, > > This request has come in

Hi all, This request has come in from a client: "How do I get change bars to appear alongside graphics/anchored frames? The help file indicates they should appear automatically (when set) against non-referenced graphics but I can’t get this to happen. All my graphics are in anchored frames."
