List of Tables, List of Figures
Hi all, I'm trying to set up my two lists so that the figure number appears in front of the figure title (same with tables). I can't find a user variable for figure number or table number. Am I missing something? Can I create one myself? Molly Keegan | Objective Interface Systems, Inc.

Deciphering the autonumbering elements
I am fairly new to Frame and working with a document that was authored by someone else. I understand how to create various numbering schemes, but need help with a couple of things. The following is found as the numbering scheme for one of the paragraph tags in my doc: M:Figure n=18-n+ 1. What is the M? I have seen capital letters in several instances, what do they mean? I can't find out from help. 2. What purpose does the empty bracket serve here? Thanks all, this is the most helpful Frame resource I have found! Molly Keegan | Objective Interface Systems, Inc.

Chapter Numbering in the Table of Contents
Hi All, I'm back for more great advice... I am having a problem getting my chapter numbering right in the table of contents of one of my manuals. Right now, it thinks Chapter 1 is Chapter 9, Chapter 2 is Chapter 10 and so on. I have made sure that each chapter is numbered correctly under FormatDocumentNumbering, and the chapter numbers are correct in other places to which they are referred (page numbering that includes the chapnum, etc.) I am at a loss for other places where this information might be stored in the document. Any suggestions are welcome!

Better diff tool that change bars?
Hi All, I am wondering how others keep track of changes made to their books. I am the only technical writer at my company, and we have a rigorous system of reviews such that people are looking at the manuals who don't edit/read them regularly. Those engineers who have been doing reviews on the manuals have complained about not having a good diff tool for Frame. They don't seem satisfied with the tools available within Frame. What do the rest of you do? Thanks!

RE: Registration Marks and PDF generation
Thank you all so much for your replies and help. With your help I have registration marks on my book! Again, thank you.

You are going about it the right way: what others have told you is correct. To get registration marks that are visible in a PDF, you must: . Enable registration marks in the print dialog . Disable 'Generate Acrobat data' . 'Print' to a page size that is large enough to show the marks. I do this all the time. Do others generate books as a single pdf or as a file with many pdfs included within it? Depends on: . What it's for . How big it gets Normally, for pre-press, which is what you are talking about, I'd do it as a single PDF for an entire book. However, sometimes these can get very large, and clients or print-shop request separate files. There is no difference as far as registration marks are concerned as long as you print separate files by entering a '*' in the file name field of the print dialog. If you generate separate Ps files by printing each file separately, then the criteria listed above must of course be applied to each file.

Registration Marks and PDF generation
I am working with a document that is a special size- 7.5x9 in. The publisher we use understandably needs registration marks on our pdf file to know where to trim the pages for publishing. My problem is this- I have figured out how to insert the registration marks when I convert to a pdf using the save aspdf method. My boss, however, insists that I convert the book to a post script file and then distill to a pdf, which as far as I can tell removes the registration marks from the document- at least they don't appear in the pdf. I have been so frustrated for so long on this issue. Does anybody know how to insert the registration marks on the Frame files before converting to a post script and still have them appear on the pdf? I have searched through several months of archives of this list and only found one thread on this topic that had advice that didn't work for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
