Re: Frame vs Indesign vs alternatives??

Thanks everyone for all your responses. I've been away, so I missed the last few responses. Some updates: I should have mentioned that the original docs are in Word, not Frame, so that kind of conversion is not applicable in this case, but the information provided is good to know for future

Hi Jenny, Interesting predicament... I believe this nesting will be more for print purposes than Help, if I read your post correctly. If you are using structured Frame, the concept of conditionalizing your extra layers of structure will be pretty straightforward. The context formatting in the

Myserious files from FM

Everyone, I have an FM 7.2 (Windows XP Pro) book that I update on occasion. In the directory in which the book resides, FM has created several files that neither Windows nor FM recognizes. The files have endings such as *.fm.8F8, *.auto.fm.108, and *.fm.6E8. Anyone know what these files are?

Well, first, thanks to all for your tips to help me get a good TOC generated. I'm still working on that one, and while it hasn't happened so far, I did find that several graphics pasted into some reference pages from another document by my (not-so-FrameMaker-savy) coworker resulted in prompts
