What is the recommended way of having a TOC appear in multiple places of a book?

Hi, guys... I have a 1,500+ FM11 book that is divided into two volumes. The book has a TOC and Index with both volumes. Both Volume 1 and 2 have covers and the pagination starts at 1 for each volume. Everything good. It's also conceivable that I'll eventually have Volumes 3, 4, 5, and 6. Now, I w

Blindingly obvious trick when optimising figure positioning

Blindingly obvious possibly, but it's taken me a couple of decades to think of it. When optimising figure positioning to move figures as close to the cross-references to them as possible, temporarily add color to the figure xref format to make them show up. (Duh!...) -- Steve [Trim e-mai

Re: Re: Blindingly obvious trick when optimising figure positioning

I keep figure numbers and cross-references to them in my PDFs and also the online help generated from the PDFs, even though in non-sequential online help systems the figure number is context-free. I've never had a comment about it, either: "Gee, in looking at your online help system, I noticed you

Crucible for doc review?

Does anyone use Crucible for reviewing draft documentation? If so, what format do you use? My source is in FrameMaker and I have WebWorks ePublisher, RoboHelp, and MIF2Go, so I can export a wide variety of formats.

Re: Blindingly obvious trick when optimising figure positioning

I single-source to PDF and HTML. The lowest common denominator is HTML, so the layout is designed so an image is predictably above or below the adjacent text that refers to it. I've never worked with a deliverable format that put images on a separate page. That's awful. On Thu, Mar 14, 2013 at 10
