Carol, On this list attachements are stripped off the messages. You would have to send it directly to someone on the list or jing a snapshot of it (see http://www.jingproject.com/) and insert the link. I think a sample is need for a compact answer.

Want to keep the header at the top of the page but have the body text expand across the page to the right side. The left margin is correct as is. See the attached example. You can't send files to the list because of the clear security risk. It's hard to tell where you're starting from (what's a chapter TOC one?) or what your goal is, but it clearly involves master page layouts. It sounds like you're not familiar with master pages, so I suggest you look them up in the manual or online help. Depending on your situation, you may learn that you're just using the wrong master pages, or you may find that you have to modify the text frames on your default master pages. (Columns are defined in the text frame's properties.) Maybe you started from the wrong kind of file -- the master page layouts for frontmatter and index files might be different from those in your chapter files. I take it you're using a template whose designer isn't available. If so, it behooves you to learn at least a bit about template design so you can see how this one works. BTW, it would help if you provided a meaningful subject for your questions instead of simply replying to an unrelated post. Richard Richard G.

Re: ON-SCREEN GUIDES
Have you tried drawing guide lines manually, positioning them accurately with object properties, and assigning them a non-printing or invisible color? Use: * View Color Definitions Print As to define a non-printing color. OR * View Color Views to define a color view that makes specified colors invisible.

Re: ON-SCREEN GUIDES
Hi Michael, Have you tried showing grid lines (View Grid lines)? The default is quarter inch, but you can set the spacing to suit your needs (View Options). You can then use the Gravity and Snap commands on the Graphics menu to help align. I must confess, though, that like others on the list, I position graphics using the object's properties. ...Susan - Original Message From: Michael Zaichenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FrameUsers Users framers@lists.frameusers.com Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:50:51 AM Subject: ON-SCREEN GUIDES Hello there, does anyone know of a utility that would put guides on my screen.

RE: ON-SCREEN GUIDES
Yes, you are right with InDesign. I'm using it too. My workflow is all around Frame though and I'm having to cope it somehow. Ever so often I have certain objects that have to be scaled and placed based on their look, not digital size and that is where guides come handy. I set off on a small project now to create a script that would handle these guides in FM. If someone is interested - I'm open to suggestions. Michael P.S. this one should reach the list ;-). Thanks for noticing it. Subject: RE: ON-SCREEN GUIDESDate: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:59:06 -0700From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Michael, I don't think you replied to the whole list with this. For a visual reference, I think drawing lines on the master page would work best, but you'd have to delete them before printing. I just don't see the need for a visual reference. You can align objects and accurately set their position on a page. It sounds like you might need a true page layout tool such as InDesign.

My question actually was: Is there an on-screen utility that makes these guides. I don't care so much whether it is interacting with Frame or not. I need somewhat a visual guide rather than interactive/snap-on guides.Hope this makes the search a bit narrower.
