All: I am developing a new template by recycling an old template. The new template has a different page size and, although all the format names are the same, the format definitions are different.
How surprising to find that the first reference page had acquired the new page size but all the other ref pages still had the old template's page size. I saved the partly customised template to MIF, opened it in Notepad++ (it supports Unicode) and changed all the <PageSize 210.0 mm 297.0 mm> lines in the ReferencePage definitions to <PageSize 150.0 mm 225.0 mm>, then saved the template.mif file. Opening the MIF file in FM 8 now showed reference pages (other than the first, which was correct) were now dimensioned 150 mm High x 210 mm Wide. So where is the MIF file (or FM) remembering one dimension but applying the other incorrectly? Note that page width precedes page height in a <PageSize ...> statement for BodyPage, MasterPage, and ReferencePage elements. Probably not a high priority for Adobe to fix but it sure confuses the users when they are confronted by this departure from the page sizes elsewhere in the template. Any explanations welcome, the wilder the better. Regards, Hedley -- Hedley Finger 28 Regent Street Camberwell VIC 3124 Australia Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Fax. (call phone first) Mob.
