RE: global text box format
I haven't seen this one personally yet, or figured out how it gets triggered. The fix for Debbie was fairly simple; she designated all of her callout paragraph formats to straddle sideheads and columns, which effectively masks the problem. Of course, a solution could be scripted if necessary.

Re: global text box format
I've had this happen several times but have yet to figure out what causes it - there is a FrameMaker command to turn side heads off (Esc j p Shift+s) but you really have to work to apply that command! The quickest way I found to fix the side head issue was to create an object style with the side heads turned off, then apply that style to each text box. In FrameMaker 11, be sure that you don't have a text frame selected and then click Graphics > Object Style Designer. When the Object Style Designer dialog opens, click Dimensions in the list of properties. If any of the text boxes on the Dimensions properties has a blue fill, click each box to clear the fill - be sure none of the boxes are checked. Specifically, ensure that the "Room for Side Heads" check box is cleared. Enter a name for the object style and click Save. Applying the object style is similar to applying font or paragraph styles. Display the Object Style Catalog (Graphics > Object Style Catalog), then select the text boxes you want to apply the style to and click the object style name to apply. You can apply the style to multiple text boxes at once. __ Carole McCormick Technical Writer Sun Nuclear Corporation +1 321-259-6862, x 282 Fax: +1 321-259-7979 http://www.sunnuclear.com -- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:08:07 -0500 From: "Debbi Leipold" To: Subject: global text box format Message-ID: <000901d04a02$c0f89150$42e9b3f0$@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Ok Guys, I am stumped.

RE: global text box format
Thanks. Figured out a work around with Rick. Have no idea how it happened, but we can get passed the text frame problem by setting all callout paragraph formats to cross over. I would love to know what I did J Sometimes just talking these things through helps, even if you have been working with the tool for 20+ years!
