Hi Helping Hands,
Ok. now I have to ask.
I have a huge FM7.0 (Windows XP) manual with 5 guides. Every guide has
Thumtabs for each chapter out of which only one guide's thumbtabs are working
properly. I have tried to figure out the mess, for so long. After a long long
search I could

Does anyone know how (or if) you can make a cross-reference when two or
more autonumbered series are used?
For example: I want the cross reference to read:

Hi all FMs on Solaris etc.,
I got the news that Solaris has an open source kernel
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/) upon which the Nexenta Operating
System is built (http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki).
Has anyone on the list tried it out with FrameMaker?

Hi All,
I have a few dozen FM documents that each have at least 100 color

The free version of Toolbox has an option to either Delete All or Delete
Unused colors from either a file or book.
You can also do the same with paragraph & character formats,
user-defined variables, x-ref formats, and table formats.

say, I would think that you would only need to open one of the files
of the book and do the change in there. Then just highlight the rest
of the files in the book file and do File > Import > Formats and just
