Re: Text flow oddity
Hi, Grant: Search Google for framemaker text flow, framemaker parallel text flows, and similar terms. There was a discussion of the problem on one of the public FM lists or forums. One issue was that the old method of incorporating a tiny frame of one or the other flow on left or right master pages no longer worked. I'm not sure if the change occurred in FM 6 or 7, or if this applies to your problem, but it's worth a bit of search time. Perhaps other relevant topics will result.

RE: Text flow oddity
Thanks Richard et al --- Yes, Text Symbols and Borders are displayed. Yes, Page 2 has a end of flow symbol at the top of the generated column. Paras are the same in both flows. Start anywhere, no frames, one widow, no KWN. Deleting the 2nd page and regenerating does not solve the problem (although it does trim the static list!) Dynamic document was created from standard FM 7.1 TOC option. Source doc and dynamic doc are both single sided. This *is* replicable --- I have even deleted the generated files and started over, suspecting corruption. I would be happy to send the pair of files (63k zipped) to anyone that wants to look. (The only change is that I've stripped the table contents -- that does not change the outcome.)
