I've just run into a boggling problem with table titles. Whenever the
paragraph tag that I use for table titles has the flush left property,
the text rect for the table title becomes as wide as the whole column,
even if the table is much narrower. If I change the property of the

I was hoping someone could help me. This is probably an easy fix for
many of you. I have a book containing several chapters, and those

James,
You don't mention the setup on the Reference Pages of your TOC file,

The mistake you are making is trying to apply autonumbering
to the paragraphs in the TOC. The $chapnum variable can only
have one value in a given file, so is you use it in autonumbering
in the TOC, it will always display the same value.
What you need to do is specify that FrameMaker should pick

Hi Rhea,
I am verifying the behavior you are seeing. There are two workarounds:
1) If the first paragraph in the title is centered, it will constrain the
whole title to the width of the table. You could have a tiny, blank,
centered paragraph in each title just above your normal, left-aligned
Wow. Then it's not just me. How could I have used FrameMaker for 16
years and not have realized this behavior? As far as I'm concerned, it's
a big, fat bug.
Many thanks

The easiest way to do this would be to generate a book level TOC from
the user guide(s) in FM that includes headings down to the level you

Hi Richard,
I think you are misdiagnosing the problem. Try this:
1) Insert a left-aligned table with a title in a text column. Make sure the
table is narrower than the text column.
2) Set the table title to be left-aligned. Type text in the table title and

both the side-head and the text column (the table number is in the side-head

I'm using unstructured Frame 7.0 on WinXP. When I perform the
following steps, the image I imported by reference vanishes:
1) Click File > Import > File
2) Double-click an image file (BMP, PNG, etc.)
3) Set the DPI and click Set.
4) Click the image inside the anchored frame to select it.

The most common cause of mis-ordered PDF bookmarks (and
specifically chapter headings that are in the wrong place relative
to section headings) is the use of separate text frames that
are not connected in the same flow. Is your chapter title
positioned in the main text flow or in a separate frame?
