Length of text flow names reduced

2013-06-03 Thread info . dkpress
Dear all, FM 11 has another quite disturbing new feature: The length of the name of a textflow is reduced to the size of the window (18 characters with numbers; 12 characters when inserting big M). In Version 9 I could insert any amount of characters in this field. The old names are still visible

I'm sure you've all had the problem with TOCs, LOTs, LOFs, and even indexes. When the title reaches the end of the line (or too many index entries), the tab character that should position the page number at right aligned tab doesn't work, and the page number appears left justified on the second

Hi everybody,   I have a simple Visio drawing containing basic Visio shapes (e.g., a rectangle with a green background). I inserted a PNG (an icon with a transparent background) via Insert--Picture--From File and put it on top of the rectangle. So far, everything looked perfect. However, when I

Chris Despoupolis's (sp?) TocBreaker might be of use. You'd have to insert your soft returns once and run TocBreaker to save the information. After that, you run TocBreaker after regenerating. (http://cudspan.net/) It works with all generated lists. You can use Google to search the archives by
