I have a FM-8 chapter that I made by combining 2 chapters. There were 3 tables in each chapter that I combined. The tables autonumber in the first chapter text, but not the imported 2nd chapter. The first three chapters are: 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3. And the last three chapters are numbered 5-1, 5-2...

Lately, I installed Illustrator (CS3) on a new computer. The menu and pallets are tiny for my tired eyes. How can I change the type size for better "accessibility." [ponder] I tried searching a few place but only found info about "text size." Thanks in advance for any help.

Is it possible to convert or import (place) Framemaker files into InDesign files? Situation: We have two software user manual writers: one use a MAC with Framemaker, the other uses a PC with Framemaker. Framemaker has discontinued upgrades for MACs. Since both writers have InDesign CS3, they...

Hi Thegrover, Thank you for your response. You gave me a nudge in the right direction when you wrote to "Add" a TOC and have only one TOC for the whole book. Then I examed the project more closely and realized I needed to remove the book TOC, since it was not intended to be in the book at all...

How do I update the entire TOC for a book? I'm just started a job where I need to update existing manuals. My background in Framemaker is limited: I've taken a semester class in FrameMaker but never used it much since then. I've tried looking in online help, and searching the Internet for...

Hi there, My postscript files were opening in Adobe Illustrator because *someone* evidently uninstalled Adobe Distiller. LOL! I heard the saying today, "Ignorance is bliss"--Yeah until someone tells ya you're stupid! P Solovyov

Thanks BigJohnD. I'll have to try this a little later...but I'm sure it will work.

If you can create a PDF of the PageMaker document, you can try this work-around to have your own images. (Not sure this can be done if files were linked rather than embedded in the original file. My Distiller is "missing" due to some "help" I got here at work, so I cannot test it right now.)...

I have PageMaker 7.01 that was installed by our IT department. To use auxiliary Adobe software with PageMaker, I have heard the files need to be installed in a certain order. After searching Help files and FAQs I'm ready to ask this forum: What is the proper order of installtion for Adobe...

Marcus and Thomas, Thanks for the extra information. Our company has a long-standing relationship with our service bureau, and they seem very happy with him. Whenever I bring up the fact that documents can be can be published from the PDF, I get the *invisible door* slammed in my face with...

I really appreciate all the help. Here are a couple more questions about preparing the PDF for the service bureau: 1. In printing terms, what do pre-RIP and RIP mean? (Marcus) 2. I have not set trims and bleeds in a PDF file before. How can I do this? (Sorry, I haven't tried online help...

My service bureau contact swears he cannot print PDFs to book formats, and he insists on having the native PageMaker file. He says he needs to rearrange the pages in the PageMaker file to make documents into the "perfect" binding format. I know that pages in a PDF can be arranged. And, it is...

Hello, I am a technical writer/desktop publisher and an intermediate user of PM. This is my first post on this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me with a publishing firm issue. I'm a new employee at my present job and I am making PageMaker files containing 40 to 48 pages. The...
