RE: converting text insets to text disassociated the headings

2006-07-24 Thread The red fox
Richard, 

Thanks for the detailed information.  I tried your
method with a test file and it works!  On the original
file I had tried to insert the extra body space tags
after the insets had been imported.  It seemed to work
(showed up when displaying all text symbols), but
apparently was not good enough. 

This workaround will suffice.  Still seems like a
major bug that FM needs to fix once and for all. 

Thank you again.

 I went back and looked at the original description,
 and I'm still not
 sure I understand the setup. Are you working with
 View  Text Symbols
 turned off? Turn it on; that'll help you see what's
 going on. 
 
 Of necessity, a text inset sits entirely within a
 paragraph in the flow
 into which you imported it. This isn't obvious
 (especially if text
 symbols are off) because the content of the inset is
 at least one
 complete paragraph, so it looks like it sits *above*
 the pgf that
 contains it instead of *inside* it. 
 
 Assume that H1 and /H1 mark the beginning
 and end of the 1st
 heading pgf, Inset1 and /Inset1 mark the
 beginning and end of
 the 1st inset, etc. Here's what your text flow
 _should_ look like: 
 
 H1First heading text/H1
 
 Body1Inset1One or more pgfs making up inset.
 (Note that no matter how many pgfs there are,  
 they're all contained inside the single container
 pgf,
 which they look like they're above.)/Inset1 
 /Body1
 
 H2Second heading text/H2
 
 Body2Inset2One or more pgfs making up
 inset/Inset2 
 /Body2 
 
 H3Third heading text/H3
 
 Body3Inset3One or more pgfs making up
 inset/Inset3 
 /Body3
 
 I'm guessing you've got each text inset sitting at
 the beginning of the
 following heading -- something like this (omitting
 spacing 'cause this
 is long enough g): 
 
 H1First heading text/H1
 H2Inset1One or more pgfs making up
 inset/Inset1
 Second heading text/H2
 ... etc. ... 
 
 Or maybe all the insets are in one Heading pgf? 
 
 H1First heading text
 Inset1One or more pgfs making up inset/Inset1
 Second heading text
 Inset2One or more pgfs making up inset/Inset2 
 Third heading text
 Inset3One or more pgfs making up inset/Inset3
 /H1
 
 HTH! If you look at your doc with text symbols
 visible, maybe you can
 figure out what's going on from these examples.

Do I need some special character inserted somewhere?

Do you have at least one blank para between each text inset? There are some 
long-standing bugs with FrameMaker that can cause unpredictable behavior when 
text insets are 'stacked' back to back.
