Question

Chapter shows up as Book-Component

My top level is DOC. Inside that I have BODY, and inside that I have my chapters. The first one is now showing up in the structure as BOOK-COMPONENT. How do I get it back to being a chapter?

Raymond,

   When you add a file to a book, FM does not actually open the file to see what it contains. At that point, the file is shown in the Structure View for the book as you've noted as BOOK-COMPONENT. When you update the book, however, FM opens the book component. If its main flow is structured, FM relabels the bubble in the structure view with the tag of the highest-level element ("chapter", in your case). If the main flow is unstructured, as will be the case for a generated file such as a table of contents or index, the bubble retains the BOOK-COMPONENT label. In short, all you need to do is update the book.

Hi Lynne,

I get all that and your answer makes sense. What is puzzling is how it lost its chapter definition. I’ll try the update and hope for the best. Thanks for your prompt reply and patience.
