Initial size of Variables Pod in FM10

Thanks to all who responded. Attaching the variables pod to the dock seems to make the pod behave (within the dock). In my case, this means that FM is difficult to use without a second monitor which again affects some FM shortcuts. So I think Adobe should look at this as a minor bug. Brgds,

Initial size of Variables Pod in FM10

Hi all, I have been searching for a topic on whether it is possible to change the initial size of the Variables Pod in FM10, but not found it. I find it rather annoying to have the pod open at the bottom of the page every time taking up 20-25% of my document page. Is there a way to change this

Changed Section and Subsection Numbers

Your problem may just be what you say: "each chapter had the Format ? Document ? Numbering (and Page) set properly." The book update does not look for what each chapter file says about numbering. You have to set it in the book (right-click each file reference there and setting all numbering

Combining crossref formats

Hi all you wonderful Framers! I have not seen a discussion on this (it may have escaped me), but having last year jumped from FM7.2 to FM10, I was looking for a way to combine a Xref format to two elements, namely one empty holding the chapter/section (not so named) numbering and the other, in a

Re: Selecting Colours for Conditions

Great, Helen. Another way of doing it might have been to create colors under the names of the condition names: eOnly, Print1, etc. That way you would not have to remember any color names or to which condition each color applied. Cheers, Bodvar Bjorgvinsson On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 4:28 AM,

Re: switch between 8.5x11 and A4 sized pages within the same book?

Hi Alison, The European equivalent to Tabloid is A3 (297x420mm) which is 18mm wider and 12mm shorter than the 11x17 Tabloid. Hope this is of some help. Bodvar Bjorgvinsson On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 6:11 PM, Alison Craig alison.cr...@ultrasonix.com wrote: Here’s a “what if” scenario to layer on

Re: cannot generate PDF

Hi Bill, The most usual thing here, as most have suggested, is that a corrupt graphic on or next to the problematic pages is causing this. However, as the error message mentions Encoding, I would also look at the fonts on these pages. Is there any text (or an entity for holding text) on these
