Muliple Volume Documentation Set for Multiple Site Locations

Has anyone used Framemaker for the purpose of generating a complete reference set i.e., extensive use of volumes? I would like to see if someone can provide me with some direction on setting up a file structure and/or any gotchas awaiting me for setting up this documentation. I am faced with a

Continuous Numbering in framemaker

structured import and pgftag fonts

I caught a clue about FrameMaker's font behavior from http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/help/index.html - click on Mass Convert Fonts. I hadn't realized that FrameMaker uses an .ini file (I thought ini files went away a LONG time ago) and that in that .ini file there is a default font definition

Jessica, I've been participating in a minor way with several other writers on this bug in the Adobe User forum, and there may be a solid work-around. Try this: Assuming some flavor of Windows, delete the font cache file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT. Reboot the machine to force the font

structured import and pgftag fonts

Noah, I don't quite follow what is happening here, and I don't understand what you mean by FM "inserting font data on the strings themselves". Do you mean that if you import the same element hierarchy with different text you get a different font? In general, to debug problems in which I

Any way to "highlight" file imports when by reference?

One way is to insert an empty paragraph with a special tag at the end of the chapter file, and then use a cross-reference (with an x-ref format that picks up only the page number via the <$pagenum> building block) whenever you need the total page count. Fred Ridder (fred dot ridder at intel dot

Ok - a quick follow-up to this. For the "empty" paragraph tag, you need some kind of source text for the paragraph to select for the x-ref, so what I did was set up an auto-number format with the phrase "TotalPageCount" and set the color to white so it doesn't show and I have a cross-ref. format

This a bit tricky. I haven't done it before, but I found instructions for it in the Adobe FrameMaker help. The topic title is "Including the total page count of a book in a header or footer" The Page Count (<$lastpagenum>) variable ordinarily resets on a file-by-file basis, but you can make it

Hi! Interesting question regarding Shlomo's excellent ToolbarPlus Express tool. The tool originally had a "bug" where the Paragraph Tag dropdown box was nearly invisible. I know there's a fix for this, but I can't remember what it is. Can anyone help? Joe
