Experiment by making changes to the source. For instance, insert Pulse Software before the word "Pulse", and PDF it again. Observe the results. If the new words display fine, delete everything after them and PDF it again. Observe the results. You might be able to fix it, even if you might

Hi, Lin: AHA! It's a secret plot of some kind. I remember there was a time long ago, when FM's auto-correct would replace "InterLeaf" or some other proprietary competitor, with "FrameMaker." The word-spacing computation might have a rounding error when it encounters specific glyph combinations

TOCs are generated, so perhaps there's some indicator in the file or the properties it assigns to content, that makes the PDF conversion processors work differently. Obviously your results prove that the different routes to PDF do work differently. Just wondering in your copious free time if

Spellcheck did indeed used to replace Interleaf with FrameMaker, but I don't think it does anymore. When it converts from Frame to PDF, that will make the link unclickable. Also, I really don't want to have to apply a character tag to text created in a generated document every time I regenerate

Well, now that you've discovered the exact pathway to that creates the error, of course you're going to report it, so it gets on the list of fixes needed. You can see my long memory as evidenced by recalling the automatic replacement of InterLeaf. This reminds me of something a little longer

I dunno. I mean, obviously the problem lies with the PDF generation, but I suspect the fact that it messed up the one word (twice!), but only in the TOC is not going to be enough for anyone to figure out what the issue is. On Sat, Sep 12, 2020 at 3:14 PM Peter Gold wrote: > Well, now that

There were two markers in the source paragraphs, one for the TOC xref link and one for an Index marker. I moved the Index marker. No good. There was a hard space between the word Pulse and the word Software. I took it out and replaced it with a regular space. Also no good. I deleted and RETYPED
