The main problem with overrides is that it will make changes later that will be difficult to find and/or fix. Is there a way to find overrides, other than examining each paragraph individually? Is there a way to remove all overrides from a document in a single operation? I guess one way is to

One way to find overrides is to create a special template that is identicial to your standard template, but with all fonts set to a bright colour you don't normally use. When you apply the special template, the overrides show up as unchanged black text. David Shaked (Wernick) wrote: The main

If I'm writing a typical user manual, my preferred solution for pagination overrides is to float tables and figures. Floating rarely produces pagination problems--that's the main purpose of floating, as far as I can tell. I give tables and figures numbered titles and I'm careful to cite each one

Floating figures and tables are useful for automating page breaks, but I too have encountered people who insist that the figure must always immediately follow the reference. Can anyone help me understand where this rule originated? In Framemaker, setting them up requires a bit more effort. To

I don't see how it's possible to develop a template that gives you a flawless page. I find it's a judgment call to decide how many rows of a particular table to keep on a page or to move to the next page. Is it possible to tell FM that if there are 5 or less rows in a table, move the whole

I keep my overrides to pagination-related overrides. Removing these overrides will only affect the pagination, which I check anyway before completing a book. The main problem with overrides is that it will make changes later that will be difficult to find and/or fix. Having said that, if I

I'm really bothered by the Top of Page as an override, because if we add text to the front end, that override is going to force a Top of Page we might not want. Create a special paragraph format called PageBreak. Give it a large Space: Below Pgf: value, say 600 pt. Then insert this paragraph
