I tend to give xrefs a color (blue) by default.
- blue is dark enough
Hmm. Structured FrameMaker and XML source might work. Maybe I'll give
that a try.

I need to conditionalize (best) or delete (acceptable) a complex snippet of

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
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.

The sequence "tmda" will move the Insertion Point down one cell and
highlight the text in it.
The sequence "tmd" (i.e., without the 'a') is support to just move the
Insertion Point down one cell. But it does not seem to work ... :(
And, of course, "tmua" goes up one cell. Again, for some reason
le, but no joy.
Can someone enlighten me whether the cursor keys can be made to work inside
tables, and if so how to make that happen? My mouse hand and arm will be
eternally grateful.
