Re: FM7 and Zapf Dingbats

It could be that you have not added wherever the fonts are stored to the FrameMaker Font path. IIRC, in 7.2 there was an option under File>Preferences that allowed you to specify the path(s) that FM would look for the font files. You can also edit the maker.ini file directly to add the path. Chee

Hello Theresa-- You can't use a variable in this case. What you want to do is have a "word" (for example "TdeV at bstw.com") that has the hypertext marker GoTO URL "mailto:TdeV at bstw.com" in it. Then you must tag the word with a character format tag (such as "link" -- you may need to create this
