Anchored Frame Problem

[Jeff Coatsworth]

Hi Lea,

It's when you use the "Anchoring Position: At Insertion Point" option - that causes a new Distance above Baseline field to appear.

You don't need to do structured FM to use the FM to RH help generation. I'd recommend that you check out RJ Jacquez's blog (http://blogs.adobe.com/rjacquez/) for some good demos of how stuff flows from FM to RH.

Subject: Anchored Frame Problem

Hi Framers,

 

I'm hoping you can help me with a small problem. I'm using Frame 9 on Windows 7, but I've had this problem with previous versions of Frame as well, so it's not new. When using anchored frames, I am unable to fix the distance of the frame from the surrounding text. The online Help indicates that the Anchored Frame dialog box has a Distance above Baseline option, but I see no such option in that dialog box. Not sure why Adobe says that such an option exists when it clearly doesn't. Does anyone know where this option may really be hiding.

 

I did have a thought that the option may be available only when using structured Frame, but that doesn't seem to make sense to me. I have not yet made the transition to structured Frame - no time to transition the old files I inherited. But while I'm on the subject, we bought TechCommSuite 2 and I'm going to use RoboHelp to create Help files we never had for our product - should I transition my files to structured Frame if I'm going to link my files to RoboHelp?

 

TIA!
