Text insets in structured FrameMaker

2006-01-27 Thread Steve Rickaby
If I might just interject a technical query... ;-) ;-) I have up till now assumed that structure in FrameMaker doesn't 'know' or care about text insets (assuming the inset is a flat file, and not itself structured). Am I right? And whether I am or not, would anyone like to comment on what they

cross-reference problem

2006-01-27 Thread Bernard Aschwanden
One guess that I have is this: Your writer opens up a file, say, Doc01.fm that has an unresolved xref. The writer finds it and the reference is to Doc02.fm which the writer opens. Now your writer has both 01 and 02 open and fixes the xref. In doing so a new marker is inserted in 02. IF you

cross-reference problem

2006-01-27 Thread Rick Quatro
Hi Janice Do any of the documents give warnings when you open them; for example, missing fonts or graphics? When you open a FrameMaker document that has cross-references to other documents, it "silently" opens the other documents in order to resolve the cross-references. If the other documents

Hi Vikram... You install the FDK by running the EXE that you downloaded. This will install it to the location you specify (it doesn't really matter where, just so it makes sense on your filesystem .. the default location is fine). Once it is installed, go to the "DOC" directory and you'll see
