Re: utility to check that all heading names are unique?

Re: linking to large unsorted para lists

In FrameMaker, I have to scroll through the para list of unsorted heading 1s for each link I want to create. I have many links to create and it is difficult to scroll through the para list for each link. Any ideas on how to do this more effectively? Can I use a search to find the link target? ROBERT CAREL | Technical Publications Manager | Accela, Inc. | (925) 659-3267 ACCELA, MAKING GOVERNMENTS EASIER, FASTER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE It would be helpful to have a little more information describing exactly what you are trying to achieve, and how. Are you just talking about cross-references? Or are you creating hyperlink markers for some different purpose? Would you be able to create a stand-alone List of Paragraphs (Alphabetical) (specifying tag 'heading 1' and creating hypertext links) and then flesh that document out with whatever other content you want?

Re: table of contents loses formatting....

This may sound too basic, but, you *are* saving the TOC file after making your formatting changes and before updating the book, aren't you?

Re: TOC listing mix-up
On Fri, 29 Apr 2011 15:16:02 +0530, Prithvi Diwanji wrote: hello all thanks for your inputs so far. i have managed most of the TOC design and troubleshooting. but here is a curious thing: in the TOC, after some chapters, suddenly the FIRST heading 1 of chapter n+1 gets listed as the LAST heading of chapter n. all chapters are based on the same template. how do i fix this? Framemaker assembles TOC entries in the order it finds them in the text flow of the chapters. It is likely not the case that your heading 1 of chapter n+1 is being listed as part of chapter n, but that the chapter title of n+1 is in a frame that follows the frame containing the first heading 1. This can happen if the chapter title is in a separate text frame that is either not connected to the flow, or is connected in the wrong order, i.e., that frame follows the main text frame on the page (logically, not necessarily in appearance). I suggest you read the Help topics on Connecting Text Frames and on Tables of Contents and Indexes.

In the attached ZIP we also included FrameLog for your reference. Please help. I tried to open your file but received the same error message; even the "heroic open command" (Esc o H with a new document open) does not succeed.

Re: Consecutive Figure and Table Numbering
David Spreadbury wrote: our documents don't use Paragraph Numbering Oh yes they do :-) Remember, in FM, everything that ends with either a pilcrow (the backwards P symbol) or an end-of-flow symbol is a "paragraph". Your Figure captions are paragraphs. Your Table titles are paragraphs. Your Table cells are paragraphs. When Frame refers to "Paragraph Numbering", it is talking about the Autonumbering variables -- and you set those variables in the *Paragraph* Designer, right? Doesn't matter if they're captions, headings, table cells, or otherwise empty placeholders for anchored frames -- they're all paragraphs, and if they have any kind of variable in the Autonumber box, they use Paragraph Numbering. If you can get hold of the white papers mentioned by others, it's well worth the time to study them and get a good understanding of how numbering works in FM. (If you can't get hold of them, write me off list and I'll zip them up for you when I'm back in the office next week.) Best wishes to all for 2007, Stuart Rogers Phoenix Geophysics Ltd.
