Cross Referencing Multiple Book Files

Hi All! I am creating Release Notes that need to cross-reference to files in other books. For example, I have a new feature that I list in this file and have cross-referenced to the full explanation in the Using manual. The next new feature cross-references to the Configuration manual, etc.

RE: Cross Referencing Multiple Book Files

Julie, When creating cross-references between books, the directory structure relationship between the files must be maintained. If the folder structure, when you created the links looks like: ReleaseNotes Book1 Book1.pdf Book2 Book2.pdf Book3 Book3.pdf the resultant PDFs must maintain the

RE: Cross Referencing Multiple Book Files

Julie: I've had this same problem. The directory structure must be the same, and the pdf must have the same name as the FrameMaker book. I put books inside subfolders, but when I want the pdfs to be in the same folder, without subfolders, I create all the FrameMaker books in the parent folder

A bug note on using .png graphics....

I recently ran into a problem using .png graphics in files and after kicking it around a lot, think I may have found a bug either in FM's memory managment (surprise!) or the way it's handling graphics files. * FM 7.2 / 158 * Windows XP SP2 with all patches * Two machines, one with 2 M RAM, one

RE: A bug note on using .png graphics....

Glad to possibly help you Art! I had trouble with FrameMaker freezing and crashing while using Snagit 8.0. Was using save Web URLs and scroll bar for the captured windows. Updated to Snagit 8.01. Used .jpg instead of .png. Works ok in Frame 7.2. When saving these images, get a message to save

Re: A bug note on using .png graphics....

Nandini, I am running SnagIt 8.01, but I never enabled the add-in; I always run it as a free-standing program and haven't had any problems (even saving as .png -- they write out 8 bits). Cheers, Art On 5/2/06, Nandini Garud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Glad to possibly help you Art! I had trouble

Lines wrapping properly in List of Figures

We are generating a book with over 50 chapters, each of which has a number of figures. So far, we have decided that the product name and the screen name should be included in the figure caption, so several of them are quite long. I'm using Frame 7.0 on Windows XP. I have been able to format

RE: Lines wrapping properly in List of Figures

Can you put the caption name and number in the margin column as a run-in side head? There the chapter name and number can use as much real estate as they want. The caption (figure name will have plenty of space in the text column.) In LOF, just list the figures based on chapter names and number

RE: Lines wrapping properly in List of Figures

I can see that it *might* be useful to include the product name in the caption if each figure if the product name doesn't already appear somewhere on the page (like the header or footer). But I'm not sure that I see how having the product name repeated in several dozen (or a hundred or so)

Lines in Frame become twisted in PDF

I use the Rounded Rectangle tool to draw callouts around fields on screen images, which are inserted via reference in the Frame doc. When I PDF a document with these callouts, the lines of the rounded rectangles appear twisted. For example, one half of one of the lines of the rectangle slopes
