Any way of applying a custom master page to final even page in component file

All: Occasionally a chapter file ends on a right page (odd-numbered). Because the pagination is set to even number of pages, the default Left master is applied to the final left page (even-numbered) of the chapter. We would like to apply a special master page devoid of running heads and feet,

Printing Chapters to Separate files; Was: Links not working in Adobe

Carol, Do you want to make separate PDF files for each document in the book? I would assume that for the references to work, all the PDFs would have to be in the same directory. Otherwise, links would break. If you don't need separate PDF files, deselect "Save Book as... Separate File for eac

Printing Chapters to Separate files; Was: Links not working in Adobe

Carol, I haven't played with this, but in pre-7 versions, the file name field could contain an asterisc, which FM interpreted by printing each chapter_file.fm to a chapter_file.pdf. Might see if it still works that way instead of typing in a file name. Art On 10/31/06, Carol Wade wrote: > I have

Any way of applying a custom master page to final even page in component file

One trick is to set up your 'default' left and right pages to be 'intentionally blank' and then they always apply with no headers or footers. Of course, that means you need to set up a "pages with h/f" set of masters. You'll also need to carefully play with the reference pages to apply them, but

Unexpected problem with straddling table cells

Hi and thanks to all who replied - Several people suggested it would be easier to just put the word "Caution" in the autonumbering field and yes, that is the way we're going to have to go. But it's not quite as simple as that. Here's how the tables are set up: First cell: Icon tagged "CautionI

Tableformat in EDD

Egwin, During import from XML, FM seems to use a table format specified in an all-context rule but not in a context rule. I believe this is a bug. However, if the tablefunction attribute is used only to specify the table format, you can remove the context rule in the EDD and add the r/w rul
