I am moving to a new PC (Windows 10) but my version of WebWorks is no longer supported. How can I move this application? I copied it to the local network then to my desktop then to C:\Program Files (x86) and it opens, but the WebWorks menu does not show up on the FrameMaker toolbar. Thanks, Ed

Our corporate template has about 10 or so xref formats. The ones I use most are the three that provide both the section number AND the section name, or the table number AND table name, or the figure number AND figure name. The number of people who prefer looking for numbers as a location indicati

I stopped using chapter numbers years ago. I don't use captions or figure numbers or any of that stuff, it all seems like print-era clutter to me. I cross-reference headings, so " For more information, see <$paratext>." In PDF output I add "on page #." If I need to cross-reference a table, I give

Hey, Bernard! How's things up in the Great White North? At my last three employers (i.e., for the last ~25 years...) we've used numbered headings (at least 5 levels, although I always try to hold it to 4 levels) and numbered figure captions and table titles. Because of this, the standard pract
