Odd. What does the Book file say? I am not quite clear based on your
earlier post what is the problem.
Sorry, my response got stuck in my "drafts" outbox so the whole thread
is pretty historical at this point. :-)
Basically, I've been doing a lot of work on a book, and I cut a bunch of
chapters. What I was calling the "data" directory is the folder where
I'm keeping all the FM files related to the book. What I want to do is
sort out that folder in some way so I can move the old, unused files to
a "dead" director. Mr. Ridder suggested that I run the update, and that
would open, close, and save each file, and then I could just do a
windows sort and move the older dated file. Unfortunately, though,
since I hadn't made any edits, only the TOC and LOF files changed. I
eventually went through and opened every file manually, changed one
character, changed it back, and then closed it, and then manually purged
out the data directory. I'd just like to do this in some more automated
way. And I did remove the files from the book from within the book
file, but they apparently just get abandoned in the folder.
Thanks!
John
Some questions:
1. Does the [bookfile-name].book show all the files that you deleted
from the directory or place they used to be at? Then they should
really show the files with a preceding question mark.
2. Did you use the book file to "move" the chapter files?. Then they
should update.
3. Have you checked the Numbering setting of each file in the book
file? If it is set to a specific numbering, you may have to change it
there.
4. By data directory, do you mean the book file or the folder where
you keep the folders?
Best regards,

Well, if you do an Update Book operation, FrameMaker opens and saves
all of the active files in your book to update the pagination data,
I just tried this, and with no changes, it actually only saves the
TOC/LOF files...
Thanks, John
