[Framers] Print .fms continuously on page?

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Peter,

You could use your topics as text insets and insert them into a single
document. You could still maintain the topics in a book, but the single
document would contain your topics and they would flow wherever they fit in
the document. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Thank you very much.

Rick

   I'm having a similar problem.
   I'm trying to follow a pseudo-structured authoring paradigm: lots of
   discrete topic files but using the unstructured FM interface. The book
   is created and the topic files inserted directly into the book, just
   that there's a lot more than the usual dozen or so chapter files.
   It appears that FM wants to start each file on a new page even though
   the 1st paragraph in the topic file may have the Start attribute set as
   "Anywhere". This seems to be borne out by the available file pagination
   settings of "Next Available", "Read From File", "Left", "Right" i.e.
   nothing similar to the numbering properties of "continue from previous
   page/paragraph/...". This means the text jumps to new pages even though
   topics may be related. And there's a lot of extraneous white space.
   I can get around this by just using chapter files in the book structure
   and inserting each topic into a chapter file. However, I wanted the
   topics in the book so that I could see the book/chapter structure &
   easily move the topics without cutting/pasting within/between chapter
   files. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
   Regards,
   Peter
