FrameMaker10: Cause of difference between actual display and element setting

Hello, everyone

In using FM10 in Windows7, I've experienced the problems below.

1) A black square(■) is displayed while an ASTARISK element is set in the structure view. ("*1" is displayed on another computer )

2) Different BODY elements are used but no return is inserted between the sentences.

Acutually, I already know the solution to the problems: import an element definition to the file.

If you know the (possible) "cause" of the problem, please let me know.

darkhourse,

I am responding because I don't like to see a post go without any response. This is especially true because I think there is an answer to your question; however, I can't understand exactly what your questions are. Can you provide more information? In particular, where are you seeing the black square? And what do you mean by an ASTERISK element?

Also, for problem number 2, I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Hello, Russ

Thank you for your response and sorry for my elliptical explanations.

I'll rewrite the problems I have experienced below.

Problem1: An ASTERISK element is a note style (supplementary explanation) in manuals, defined to be displayed as "*1".

ex) (Placed below a table, referring to "Description*1" in the table header, )

*1: The descriptions do not apply if PC2025 is used.

What I meant in the question was that "■" was displayed instead of *1 although an ASTERISK element was used.

Problem2: A BODY element is used for sentences.

For "*1: The descriptions do not apply if PC2025 is used", you need to place a BODY element below the ASTERISK element in the hierarchical structure in order to write "The descriptions do not apply if PC2025 is used.".

If you want to start a new line in writing multiple sentences, you need to use another BODY element.

What I meant in the question was that although I used two BODY elements, the sentences were displayed without a line break as if just one BODY element was used.

I'm happy to provide further information if required.

I forgot explaining about "■". This is a style for titles. "■ Introduction ", for example.
