Anchored Frame Problem

[Galanter, Lea]

Thanks, Jeff. I'll check out RJ's blog (I keep forgetting about that!).

Thanks to Rick Quattro for calling me and discussing At Insertion Point.
Based on his suggestion for working with graphics, I'm creating a new
Graphic Insert paragraph style, which the docs have not had before. This
is also going to solve my problem with the distance between the graphic
and its caption.

Thanks!

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!
