Long Figure Titles in FrameMaker 7.2 Windows

[Lester C. Smalley]

Apart from getting the author to reduce the title to some reasonable length, the only way I can see to handle this is to use conditional text to hide the fragments that should not appear in the LOF.  The LOF will be set to HIDE the "don't include" text and all the chapters will show it.

This will trigger warnings when you update or print the files, but you actually want the condition settings to be different for the LOF file, so you may safely ignore the messages.

| 
| What should appear in the List of Figures: (as you can see deleted

| 
| Example of Clutter Doppler Spectrum (deleted text) for a SWH of 6 ft
| from 35 Relative to the Radar Look Direction (deleted text)

| Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
