Book page count
I have encountered a strange problem We are finishing a large book and we aren't ready to generate a TOC yet. I have been getting an initial page count of each chapter in the book by clicking the chapter and getting the number of pages without opening up the chapter by looking at the bottom left of the screen. The number of pages in the clicked chapter file of the book appears at the bottom left of the screen. I spent hours getting a count for each of about 400+ chapters and then noticed that when you open a chapter, the number of pages doesn't always match. Does anyone know why this happens? What can it affect?

What can it affect? It's perfectly logical, actually. The page numbers and page counts shown in the book window represent the values that were collected in the book file during the last Update Book operation. If you edit any of the component files after doing an Update Book such that the chapter's page count changes, the book file will not know what the new count or page numbering are until you do another Update Book. If FrameMaker has reason to believe that the count/numbering is not up to date, it usually displays an asterisk (analogous to a format override indicatrion), but this is not foolproof. The only time you can be certain the book file contains accurate page counts is right after you've instructed it to scan all the component files by performing an Update Book. -Fred Ridder _ Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser! http://biggestloser.msn.com/ ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
