Hi Matt<br>
<br>
I've been using DITA-FMx to generate a book from a ditamap. Because
the book is divided into parts, the generation process uses a
template for each "divider" file. It is this template file that I
was tweaking. When it works, it creates separate book components for
the dividers as well as the chapters. I do now have a working set,
but only because I have taken my tweaks so far. Having saved each
"good" tweak into a new file, I can quickly revert to a good copy
when an extra tweak breaks things. Life on the edge!<br>
<br>
I know that if I make the slightest modification to the text frame
on a master page in that particular template file, it will crash FM
when I generate from the map using DITA-FMx (always). Or sometimes
when I make the tweak, save the file, and close it. It is this last
factor that makes we wonder whether it is a native FM problem or a
DITA-FMx probem - or if somehow my file becomes corrupted at some
point in the generation process.<br>

Hi Roger,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are you working with ditamaps or with FM book components?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was able to work almost flawlessly with ditamaps for the
FM11 reviewer's guide, but only produced the FM book components
at the end for the PDF production and/or linking to RH for EPUB
output.</div>

</div>
<div>IIRC, the FM components seemed to be much less stable.</div>
