Question

Can't edit content in a .fm file

Hello,

I'm new to FrameMaker, using 2019 version. I've inherited a old project, and everything is going well except that I can't edit the content in the Cover page .fm file. The first page has an image and the second a frame with text. I can't access the image on the first page or the text on the 2nd page.

 

thanks!

Elo

    Most likely it's hiding in the Reference page - what you see most of all are Body pages.

    Thanks Jeff,

    I've checked the Reference pages and don't see anything. I also looked at Master pages and I get the following message when returning from Master Pages to Body pages - is this unrelated?

     

    thanks,

    You could have multiple overlapping text frames on the problem pages.
    You could also have other content that's on the page, rather than in Flow A on that page.

    Grab some frame borders and Send to Back (Graphics > Arrange) and see what becomes selectable.
