Question

FrameMaker 11 (automatically?) creating new paragraph tags

I've just upgraded from FM 9 to FM 11, and I'm getting some unexpected behavior. For example, when I set a manual page break for a heading, FM is creating and applying a new para style to my heading - e.g. with my "Title2" heading, if I use Special > Page break --> At Top of Next Available page, FM sometimes pushes the Title2 heading to the next page, and renames it to "Title21". On a similar note, I've got an FM file in which the main body text is para style "normal", but for some reason, now that I've opened it in FM11, a lot of the paragraphs have been set to "normal1", which is not a para style that existed before, FM has created it. Has anyone encountered this sort of behavior, or does anyone know hwo to fix it?

Thanks,

Jim

You can get older FMs to do that as well, using:
File > Utilities > Create and Apply Formats

Every unique combination of overrides (which is what Page Break does) results in a unique new para fmt in CAF.

Is there anything in your workflow that is triggering a CAF?

Is this a structured document by any chance?

Hi, it's not a structured doc, and I haven't been using CAF, so does that mean I shouldn't be seeing the new formats? Can't think what might cause this.
