Book problems

2007-08-15 Thread James Dyson
Hi all, I'm using Framemaker 7.2 and I've run into a problem I've never seen before. I have a small book, consisting of just four files (15 pages) and a TOC. I can print the files within the book individually without any problems. When I try to print the book, only the first file prints and then a

Thanks for all of your help. I just figured out a workaround. I noticed the first file in the book was the only one that I couldn't save as a PDF. The culprit was the last page of the first file.

Somebody mentioned that ePub 9.2 may not work with the new features of Frame 8. So I did a test where I set the Frame condition to be an and condition. (Show only text that is a + b, not a or b) Then in ePub 9.2 I set the conditions to be "Use document Value" It built the help file correctly.

OK, I'm new to Frame 8 after a long hiatus (the last version I used was 6). I am laying out a printed book (no XML, nothing fancy, just a book for print). The client wants the right and left edges justified. In the paragraph designer for my various styles, I've set the following: Basic tab

This sounds like the same issue that Mike Wickham reported last week. (See the thread starting with his message "FrameMaker 8 justification & auto letter spacing broken?" dated 8/7 if the list archive is working.)
