'Missing' imported files mystery, and Tuesdays

Large book, many imported graphics, all imported by reference. Today FrameMaker 7.0 (Mac) reported on saving a file that graphics information had been lost and asked me to report the problem to Adobe (Mac FrameMaker problem - Adobe - ha-ha!). On checking the document, it turned out that three

Linda, The method you use actually produces a column break that moves the _next_ paragraph to the top of the next column. Setting Pagination to Top of Column (or Top of Page) moves the _current_ paragraph to the top of the next column (or page). I prefer your method. It works a bit like Special

Do you have the "Save graphics as Frame Image" option turned on? If so, that may explain how the file functioned without the graphics files, but that only answers a few of your questions. Assuming you have a high resolution pdf, you should be able to extract and recover the missing files... Art

Further... lightning fast responses from Art, Fred and Paul: Art: might have been a 'Save FrameImage with imported graphics' option issue. However, this is unlikely, as I don't think I've ever enabled this option, either in FrameMaker 6 or 7. Fred, Paul: this is normal for graphics imported by

Page break paragraph style

2007-04-03 Thread Linda G. Gallagher
Framers, Years ago, I learned from this list about creating a paragraph style to use for page breaks. I've always done this using something like 800 pts of space after for the page break paragraph tag to force the new page. In talking about this with a colleague, she asked why not set the

2007-04-03 Thread Lester C. Smalley
The difference is that adding space below the "page break" paragraph leaves it in place on page X and forces the following paragraph (of any style) to start at the very top of page X+1, while setting the pagination to top of page pushes the "page break" from page X to the start of page X+1 and

2007-04-03 Thread Ridder, Fred
If you use the Top of Page pagination property for a dedicated paragraph tag to force a page break, then the space occupied by this paragraph will push the following paragraph down the page. You can play with the line spacing and space before/after this paragraph to minimize its effect, but

Well, I knew there was a reason, but I could not think of it. Stuart, Lester, Fred, and Mike hit the nail on the head. I'll recommend sticking with the page break that with the space after. I'm not sure I'd suggest Matt's idea of resizing the page frame. That might work in some cases, but you

hi all, Over the years as our documents have evolved, and headings and subheadings have been fine-tuned and changed, and chapters moved around and titled re-worked as content changes, I've had a growing problem with my cross reference markers not matching the text of the actual

2007-04-03 Thread Rick Quatro
Hi Kevin, The Cross-Ref marker text is like a unique ID that matches a hidden property of any cross-reference that points to it. It is not necessary for the Cross-Ref marker text to match the paragraph that contains it. You would not want to change the content of a Cross-Ref marker because it

So does the {Page Break} tag mirror your Body tag, or is it used on an empty para? 1) I find that an empty para is easier to insert, but unwieldy after editing. It may result in unwanted breaks after editing. 2) If the {Page Break} tag mirrors the Body, you need to ensure consistency
