Generally I sing the praises about how much more stable Frame's
cross-references are than Word.
I just had a really odd occurrence, though, which I need to understand.
I removed a heading which was the link destination of several
cross-references.

Hi David,
I assume you are working with unstructured FrameMaker. Apparently, when you
removed the heading, you did not remove the Cross-Ref marker that was in the
heading paragraph. The marker ended up in the hearby heading. Thus, the
cross-reference was not unresolved, but still pointed to tha

I do actually work with Text Symbols showing except, as you do, for a
Print preview. (I suppose it's possible that I couldn't resist an edit
in this mode, however.)
The cross-reference markers tend to overlap the first character in a
heading and I find it very difficult to believe that I selected

You can select one just like a single character, but it's a bit
trickier, and there may be multiple markers "on top of each other." So
do it this way:
1) Open the Marker dialog (Special > Marker).
This discussion got me thinking.
It would be fairly easy to write a FrameScript plugin that detects
whether or not you are about to kill off a marker when you delete or
replace text. A dialog box could give you the option of deleting or
keeping the marker.
I think I'm going to take a crack
Stuart,
Ironically, Acrobat has never had any "black and white display mode."
Congratulations, you've invented a new feature for an old product.
However, Acrobat does have an "accessibility" display feature (although

Hi David,
One small tip that may be helpful: when you triple-click a paragraph, you
are sure to select the entire paragraph, including any markers that it may
contain. If you hold down the shift key and click any additional paragraphs,
you will be selecting entire paragraphs as well.

Hi all,
My manager requested that I add a total page count on the title page for
a book and I'm running into a hitch. FM help file shows a way to do this
with consecutive numbering for each chapter, but we use modified
MIL-Spec here - i.e., each page number consists of a chapter and the

Nicole,
I haven't done it, but, according to the book, the Page Count variable
(<$lastpagenum>), without the parens, should work.

Try putting that in your footer, or wherever on the cover, and see what it
gives you.

You should be able to put it anywhere, except on a Master Page.

Tried that - it only reflects a page count for that individual file, not

You are right. I totally missed that.

If you are delivering PDFs, you could put a footer on the PDF that includes the
total page count.

I just tried it and the only limitation is you can put the current page number
