Hi David, Thanks for the bigger picture. You didn't sound harsh and I was probably out of line replying like I did. I was looking at it more like the penny wise, pound foolish scenario that shows up occasionally. Obviously, you know your situation best. Thanks. Rick -Original

Cannot remove autonumber format

Hello All Today is bug day for FrameMaker (sigh). We've had a few of those recently. Using FM11.0.1.382 on Vista SP2. DITA-FMx installed. I create a new document (structured or unstructured, makes no difference) and add a Heading 1 paragraph. I open the Paragraph Designer and add an

OK, additional news/breakthrough! (And a sheepish apology for not providing full details--I didn't think that the following mattered.) OK, so this checklist is intended to be viewed on a tablet, so the page layout is 7.5 x 5.5 (i.e., Custom). Apparently, Custom leads FM to decide that I'm in

RE: Checklists with AutoForm Radio Buttons

On the one hand, you're right, Rick... if I'd known in advance that I was going to trip over some obscure bug in the Acrobat form wizard. But, on another hand, you're unaware of the whole situation. A more accurate assessment is: they will be spending several tens of thousands of dollars on a

(RESOLVED) RE: FrameMaker 11 update 11.0.1

Just to update my question from yesterday: I was contacted by Vikram from Adobe Customer support who had me verify that I'd saved the .zip and extracted all files locally. (Turns out I'd double-clicked the .exe from within my WinZip window.) When I followed his suggestion, everything worked as it

Re: Cannot remove autonumber format

Are you actually clicking the Autonumber Format box _twice_ to turn it off? Click it once and it changes to a solid blue box, which is As Is (which won't change autonumbering on existing paragraphs). You have to click the box a second time to fully clear it and turn off autonumbering for the

Re: Cannot remove autonumber format

Hi Richard Since I posted this (though like most of my posts it has still not appeared on the list) I have heard from India that it is a known issue that they are working on. That's because I also reported it as a bug. The solution is to undock the Paragraph Designer - then you can remove
