Re: Thumbtabs issue
Thanks. I'll try this. I took the template packs for FM from Adobe's Website and learned about this feature. Have to look for some more details.

Re: Thumbtabs issue
Hi, Just a few questions ... Do you have master pages for each of the thumbtab positions or just a single one? Are the styles of each chapter heading unique? Are the Master Page Maps configured in the Reference Pages? Are you working with structured FrameMaker? Have you used any FrameMaker plugins in the past that may no longer be installed?

Some points that I could figure out: * Each chapter start has $header_footer1 set to the chapter no. (hard coded) * the thumbtab image in the master pages remain in the same position for every chapter (Still the tabs move when seen in body pages ) * the thumbtab image also holds a place (text frame?) for Runnung H/F4. Do I have to provide any more details? Please help. Thanks Radha - Need a vacation? Get great deals to amazing places on Yahoo!

The technique is to place the thumbtab, as an anchored frame, in its own rotated frame(s) on the marker page, and then 'drive' it down the page by preceding it with a running h/f variable. There are a couple of techniques. You could be completely forgiven for being unable to fox it out ;-) At 10:57 -0700 26/6/07, Pat Christenson wrote: The tutorial and lots of other useful stuff is listed on http://www.frameusers.com/?q=taxonomy/term/66 but I can't get any of them to open or download.

I also used Brad's technique, in a modified form, in a recent book, and wrote it up in an article of my own. I can provide a copy of that to anyone who wants it if required. -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
