AW: Text Inset Disappears

[Georg Eck]

Hi Linda,

I don't know a maximum of text insets. FrameMaker has internal information about text insets (or copied graphics) without to know the source files.
We can save copied graphics and we can list all text insets (and referenced graphics) with path information.

Take TOOLBOX for FrameMaker 8 with
Feature: Book Transfer 
Run Book Transfer without to transfer the text insets or graphics and you will get a list like:

C:\Projects\Chapter.fm

Text Insets
[Pathname]\TextInset.fm
[Pathname]\TextInset.fm
[Pathname]\TextInset.fm
[Pathname]\TextInset.fm

Imported Graphics
[Pathname]\Graphic.eps
[Pathname]\Graphic.jpg
...

Download TOOLBOX: www.toolboxforme.com/download

Then collect all files for the next opening of your Chapter.fm in a new folder.

One author work with a text inset and you open the Chapter.fm is possible,
but more as two author cannot open the same file at the same moment.

Betreff: Text Inset Disappears

I am using Unstructured FrameMaker 8.0p266 on Windows XP. We have converted a rather large users guide to include all text insets. When I opened a "main  file" containing text insets, it looked fine.  However, when I double-clicked a text inset, the text inset file that opened was entirely different.  The original text inset file is no longer in the directory. It has actually disappeared from the network drive, but the original text from the inset is still in the "main file".   Has anyone else had anything similar to this? Thoughts we had were:

-          Is there a maximum number of text insets per document or book?

-          While I was working in one "master file," another writer was working in a different "master file" in the same book. Would this cause a problem?
Any experiences/suggestions/workarounds are appreciated!
Thanks
