Re: Unwanted re-ordering of files in booked publications
I can verify this behavior. on FM7, fully patched, Win2K. My books are generally 15+ files. It has been a very costly bug for me. Now that I expect it to happen, I check the order of the files in FM before generating my final PDF to ensure that neither I nor my client has any nasty surprises.

Unwanted re-ordering of files in booked publications
Hi Rob I was building a heap of files into a large book today, and saw some of the files go out of order in the book. Mostly I'd have just assumed I'd carelessly dragged them, but your email prompted me to look a bit more closely. FM7.0, fully patched, XP SP 2. I found that I can reliably make a file move within today's book by renaming another file in the book, from the book window. If I rename something and end the renaming by pressing the Enter key, all is well. But if I end the renaming by clicking on another filename in the book, the file I clicked on moves within the book, at the end of FM's rename and save process. The file I renamed stays in place. Weird. And very annoying - my instinct is to end the renaming by clicking somewhere. Even more annoying, I tried it on a 4-file book and it didn't happen. So it's reproducable within my 54-file book, but not within the shorter one. I'm still calling it a bug. Cheers, Rebecca >>> 5/03/08 00:38 >>> Hi Rob: I've had the same problem but it's because when I open a file by double-clicking on it, I accidentally move the mouse and drag it below the following file. It doesn't take more than a little movement sometimes. It's not clear to me whether the same thing is happening to you; are they only shifting when you save the book? I have the same version of FrameMaker and the same operating system as you.

Unwanted re-ordering of files in booked publications
Hi Framers: I am sure this is just me doing something really dumb, but I have noticed it quite a few times. My files in my booked publications OCCASIONALLY change their order. They usually move one or two places. The files are not problem files. Is the Save book option doing its job properly, or should I save all open files? How can I firm up the order. The first indication is that the changed pagination warning comes up when updating the indexes. When I ignore this and subsequently save and exit, I get the same pagination warnings when I reopen. I am using the latest FM 7.2 with the p157 updates on an IBM PC XP with all updates SE. Robert C.-H.
