Re: [Framers] Thumb Tabs

Maybe this would help: According to Adobe's Web site, the Framemaker Template Pack 1 "has a version that shows how to create running thumb tabs on recto pages. You can easily copy the technique to other templates after you see how it's done here." Get it here:

Maybe I'm too "old school" but I've been using side tabs for years, but a simple manual implementation rather than anything automated. I have a one-page master document just for side tabs that has ALL of the thumb tabs on it for the entire book (or more than one recto page if there are

Denis I assume you are talking about something I refer to as bleed tabs. I use them on a few publications. The tabs are 1 inch high and bleed into the crop area at least 1/2 inch. They are black with white lettering. Chapter 1 starts 1 inch from the top and each tab moves down 1 inch, then if

[Framers] editing variables

Using Frame 2015 - when I select a variable in the variables list and click the Edit button, I get the Add/Edit Variable page, but the variable I selected is not listed in the Name box and no definition in the definition box. It used to work. Has anyone seen this? Any idea how to fix it?
