Book Files import in random order
Hi Darren It depends on how you add the files to your book and where you put your mouse pointer to drag the files into your book. Try the following: 1. Arrange Windows Explorer and FrameMaker side by side (tile vertically). 2. In Windows Explorer, select all the files which you wish to add to the book and put your mouse pointer on section 2-3. 3. Drag all the files into your FM book. The order of the files should now be correct. If you had put your mouse pointer on section 2-7, for example, you will see that section 2-7 will appear as the first file in your FM book. P.S.: I don't know whether "Section 2-3" is also the name of your FM file. I always advise my students against doing this because you may want to rearrange the files in your book later, or reuse them in other books, and you can use <$volnum> and <$chapnum> for that.

Yves, Eureka! That worked fine! As far as the file names, those are out of our hands. 8^( Blessings, DJ -Original Message- From: Yves Barbion [mailto:yves.barb...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 10:29 AM To: Butler, Darren J CTR USAF AFMC 584 CBSS/GBHAC Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Book Files import in random order Hi Darren It depends on how you add the files to your book and where you put your mouse pointer to drag the files into your book.

Book Files import in random order
Ok, thanx. I usually don't import large numbers of files at one time so I guess I've never noticed this before. I could understand if it was in complete reverse order, but reversing the order except for the last in the series is quite curious. In any case I'm sure all this will be fixed in Windows 7. ;^) Thanx again, DJ -Original Message- From: Combs, Richard [mailto:richard.co...@polycom.com] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 10:16 AM To: Butler, Darren J CTR USAF AFMC 584 CBSS/GBHAC; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Book Files import in random order Butler,Darren wrote: > When importing a group of several doc files into a book , the order of > the files is jumbled: > > Ex: > > Section 2-3 > Section 2-4 > Section 2-5 > Section 2-6 > Section 2-7 > Section 2-8 > Section 2-9 > Section 2-10 > > -imports like this- > > Section 2-9 > Section 2-8 > Section 2-7 > Section 2-6 > Section 2-5 > Section 2-4 > Section 2-3 > Section 2-10 > > > > Huh?!! Well, it's not jumbled. They're imported in reverse order of selection, except for the last one. It's a Windows thing (the OS supplies the Add File dialog), and it's been that way forever.
