Numbering question

Hi Tammy, A section is below a chapter (that is: a chapter can contain sections, not the other way round), it's a nested structure. To us this you have to insert a folder in the book and put your section files in that folder. The folder is your chapter and can have a chapter number ($chapnum)

I'm experimenting with conditional text in Unstructured FM 10. I started to write an email to this list to ask if it was normal that FM 10 could not find conditional table rows, since I couldn't seem to find conditional table rows, and I couldn't find this in the help files. But I did a Google

Hi Karen, If I understand your situation correctly, I've had those problems myself. I found if I set a tab using the ruler instead of opening the paragraph designer and setting it there, this created a problem with the paragraph designer not letting me move through the pages. And that behaviour al

2011-01-28 Thread Baruch Brodersen
Hi Cathy, I did a quick test, and I see what you mean. FM's native document compare function in 9.0 is not very robust when it comes to structural changes in tables.
