Re: [Framers] adding pages

[Anna Lena Söderling]

Hi,

I do not know if you solved your problem - but you should check the Autoconnect 
setting.

Use Format > Customize Layout > Customize Text Frame... in the text frames on 
both Body Pages and Master pages. Make sure the Autoconnect is checked in all. 
If it is not Fm can not automatically generate new pages from Body pages when 
adding text.

Kind regards,

Anna Lena Soederling

Disconnected pages are supposed to work like that, IIRC, Ken. To add pages
as text frames are filled, FM needs to know that the text frames are in
connected flows. With Display Text Symbols ON, you should see a black line
at the bottom of overset text frames, unless the bottom of the frame
extends below the bottom of the page it's on.

Re: [Framers] adding pages

[William Saylor]

Peter (and Ken),

Thanks for the thoughts. I was pointed to the method for adding disconnected 
pages and then using a process to re-connect text flows and that seems to work. 
I cannot find any reason why some chapters just randomly stopped adding pages 
(at random lengths) but this approach does seem to work. I guess just more joys 
of using FM.

Bill

It's possible that the non-flowing text frames are not connected to the main 
text flow. It might be possible that they became disconnected by a bug during 
some processing operation, or that they were either manually disconnected, or 
were manually created as separate flows.

 

In the old days, overfilling a text frame caused a black line to appear inside 
the bottom of the frame, if display text symbols was ON. 

 

You can identify  a text flow by clicking in its text, and looking in the 
status bar. A handy technique to identify disconnected text frames is to zoom 
to the smallest page display size, and maximize the screen window, to display 
as many pages at once as possible, then Select All to highlight text in all the 
connected text frames in the flow.

 

If necessary, search Help and Google for "framemaker disconnected text frames."

I use the "save as even pages" setting and that seems to work for the
various documents. Any ideas on what I am missing?

Re: [Framers] adding pages

Bill,
Um, not sure if this helps but I just ran a test here and if I add one 
disconnected page (in my case, right after the last page of the document I'm in 
right now) and then add text until the cursor is at the bottom and then keep on 
adding more text, no new pages are automatically added for that new text flow.
