<span style="font-size:11pt">Assuming the answer is yes, Then I wonder why your department want's you to put data files into the "Program Files" folder. Seems odd to me.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">

The application files are the FM Template, EDD (Element Definition), and Read/Write rules files. These files make up the "application". </span></p>

<span style="font-size:11pt">The application definitions can be edited from the "structured tools" dropdown menu. This is where an application is given a name and associated with the application files I mentioned above. When you click File > Open and select a .XML file Frame will ask what application the file is written for. This is where the </span>Set Structured Application dropdown comes in. You specify the application name so that Framemaker knows what template and read/write rules get applied to the file when it opens the XML.</p>

If the application is setup this should be a simple step. I guess this depends on whether your "department" knows how to setup FM applications, or they just install the software and expect you to do the system configuration.</p>

I assume there is another solution to this problem, but that's what I got to work, so I stuck with it.</span></p>

<p>Hi Angela,</p>
<p>I am not sure if I understand what you are expecting.</p>
<p>If there is a "department rule", those department guys should tell you what to do exactly - it seems they know something.</p>
<p>Ok, now, you say: "When I try to select my file from the Set Structured Application dropdown...".</p>
<p>Well, you do not select a file there. This option will apply the settings of one of the structured applications (defined in the "<a href="http://structapps.fm" target="_blank">structapps.fm</a>") to an open xml file, so that FrameMaker knows how to handle this file, parse with which DTD, use which entities and so on.</p>
<p>Maybe you can specify your problem more accurately.</p>
<p>(Or: Maybe you should get a good introduction in working with structured FrameMaker first.)</p>
<p>Good luck - Tino Haida, Berlin</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a longtime Unstructured Frame user but am new to Structured. Per department rules, I added a folder in the following location:</p>
