Frame 7.1 Windows XP, SP2 WWP 2003 WWP Help OK, so I need to generate topic alias markers in Frame, and I've never had to deal with this in the past. Since this is how you generate context-sensitive help, I would have thought it would be fairly well documented, but after checking the Frame

Hi Ron, I'm in the same boat- just starting out creating some contextual help using Frame 7.1 and WWP (actually ePub Pro). I also find the documentation available woefully inadequate on both sides...very frustrating. Anyways, not sure what you mean about generating topic alias markers. My

You can change the text frames on the Master pages till they're the way you want them to be, then force the body pages to use them. To do this, in Body page view, select Format menu > Page layout > Master Page Usage). But definitely save first! Cheers, Rebecca >>> Merry Foxworth 12/07/06

Ron, This really is a WWP matter, even though you create the markers in FM. The WWP 2003 help has a lot of information about this process. I suggest you start with the topic called "Overview of context-sensitive WebWorks Help." This topic has links to other topics with related information.
