Question

Source formatting on longer documents (DW '17)

Hello,

Apologies if asked before -did not find anything related.

I keep a bunch of 'old' static documents online, containing up to 60 pages of printed text in each document.

When I want to use the Source Formatting feature in DW '17, it does not seem to work for the complete document.  It works smoothly when selecting a paragraph, a list etc.

Hence my question: is there a limit to the Source Formatting feature (which I use very often) - I seem to remember that it worked in previous DW versions but am not sure.

Thank you for advising and kind regards,

Michel.

Failures are almost always due to code errors somewhere in the document. 

  • Go to Window > Results > Validation.
  • Click the large triangle to check your document.
  • Fix reported errors.
  • Save document & try again.
