For security reasons, my employer impedes getting to the on-line version of help.

Use the "Discuss This Page" functionality on the help pages (they also echo in a strangely annoying way to the Adobe Forums) and Adobe's tech writing team monitors the suggestions for the next build of the help.

How does a customer/user go about making changes on an Adobe website?  And if this is not possible for an arbitrary individual to do, who is the "us" you refer to who have the capability to paste someone else's text into a page of their site?

> ¿Max Hoffman, will you please do whatever necessary to get the following procedure added to the help for FrameMaker?

> NOTE: This is based on my telephonic conversation 2013-04-26-05 with Rick Quatro (Carmen Publishing ( www.frameexpert.com/ ), 585-283-5045).
> Files added to the book do not have to be valid.
> 
> SYMPTOM
> In a structured book, in the Structure View window, the program displays the top-level element in the book as <NoName>.
> 
> MALFUNCTION
> The parent element for the book is not applied to the top-level element.
> 
> CORRECTIVE ACTION
> 1. After adding structured files to the book, update the book. In the Structure View window, the program displays the name of each top-level element in each file. The program displays the top-level element in the book as <NoName>.
> 
> 2. In the Structure View window, choose <NoName>. In the Edit Attributes window, on the Elements tab, choose the Options... button. The Set Available Elements window appears.
> 
> 3. In the Set Available Elements window, in the Show Tags For: area, in the Valid Elements for Working Start to Finish option button, ensure a dot and choose the Set button. The program sets and displays the available elements.
> 
> 4. On the Elements tab, choose the top-level element for the book. The program changes <NoName> to the name of the chosen element.
> 
> 5. In the Structure View, arrange elements to conform.
