Change bars are a character property. Therefore you can search
for them on the book level. In the Find dialog select "Ch

I can create a prototype of a DITA map for you. Just send me a
representative chapter from your programming guide and your user manual.
I don't use Fm's mapping tables for the conversion. I use MIF2Go instead,

I'm not aware of having a variable pull a value from a different
physical file. Have you ever done that before? I expect the solution
is to use text insets rather than have one chapter split into multiple
files. One chapter should be one physical file for sanity's sake.
Alternatively, you might ha

Hi All,
I'm returning to Frame after a long hiatus. My last project was done in v7.1,
so you can see how long it's been.
Except for the workspaces, I'm finding most of the Macromedia functionality
still intact in v.9, but I'm having trouble applying a condition to a portion
of my text.

I'm just beginning the process of looking at what a (more) structured
environment could give me rather than XML as a specific solution. However, as
budget is a big issue and I have Frame 9, Structured Frame seemed a good place
to start.

discuss it in greater detail. Dinner is nice, but I'm happy
to do it regardless :)

No, no sarcasm intended at all. Just a view of the proto-organic

So Chris,
If we extend your prehistoric analogy, Adobe has become like the semi-

place and swings its great neck to reach the greenest morsels. The
