I've learned a lot by just following the conversations on this list, and thanks to all you EXPERTS who provide the answers. Hope you can help me.
I'm working in FrameMaker 7.2 and have several FrameMaker books with the same template applied. In a .pdf of one of the books, instead of the current page number (like a 1, 2, ...) in the header, I see "<xnumber>34". Yikes! The other books show the page number that I expect. Looking at the Master Page of the problematic book, I see "Running H/F 1 <xnumber>#" (without question marks). When selected, the "<xnumber>#" translates to Current Page # in Variables, and when I click Edit I see "<xnumber><$curpagenum>". In the boilerplate template and other books, looking at Master Pages, I do see "Running H/F 1 #", and the pound sign is in red. When selected, the "#" translates to Current Page # in Variables, and when I click Edit, I see "<xnumber><$curpagenum>", the same as in the problematic book. I've searched FrameMaker Help and this list for info about <xnumber> and about displaying variables. Is there a display setting that is causing this problem? Do I have two totally different variables? What does the red color on the # sign mean? Bill Rost Technical Writer Retalix USA 5210 E.
