Hi framers, How can a paragraph tag that doesn't exist get into the book HTML mapping table? After revising an existing book and preparing for HTML output, I was checking the book HTML mapping table when I noticed an entry for a paragraph tag that is completely alien to anything used by our publi

Disconnected Frame and TOC

2013-10-17 Thread Karen Robbins
Hi Framers, A disconnected text frame containing a TOC-level heading appears in the TOC under the previous chapter instead of its own. The previous chapter used to be part of this chapter; the disconnected frame was always disconnected from the A flow (and its heading always appeared in the proper

Hi Framers, In v11, how do I remove an object style from one object? I do not want to delete the style itself from the object catalog. Thanks, Karen ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framer

Ghost Graphics Still Haunt My Document

Hi Framers, My document previously contained two graphics, which have long since been deleted (related text no longer exists). Yet on each open, Frame 11 looks for them and I have to click the "Ignore..." button to move on. I've run a LOR and Frame reports these graphics on a given page. I cannot

Hi Rick, I would use Photoshop. I've used both the color replacement tool and my method below. My method is not as fast as Stuart's suggestion of the replacement tool, but a complex subject may benefit from more tweaking than that tool provides. Both old and new images should be the same mode

The page includes one frame for the main chapter head only and one frame--for the rest of the page--that includes paragraphs and subsequent heads, including level 1 heads. I suspect that an errant end-of-flow tag in the chapter head frame may be the problem. No idea how it got there, it appear

Hi Wim, In the first case (catalog), I didn't set up the files so have no idea why that approach was taken. While the chapter start master page was built with a disconnected chapter-head frame, only a few of the actual book (body) chapter documents were that way--that is, all the others' chapter-h
