Hi Frame Users

I can't seem to save any edits to my reference pages.

I have the online subscription and the latest version of FrameMaker Structured installed and can compile pdfs just fine but when I try to add icons to the reference page it doesn't take.

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,

Myko

    Hi Winfried,

    If I open an xml file and view the ref page for that file, I can edit it. The edit I was trying was to add a thumbnail sized graphic for the element "note" so if it is a caution or a warning the proper icon would appear. It works until I close the xml and try to open it again. Frame version 16.0.4.1062

    Thanks


    When you open an XML file, FrameMaker uses the template that you specify in your structured application. So any changes you make to the resulting FrameMaker file does not get saved. You have to update the FrameMaker template that is being used when you open the XML file.

    You've verified that you have rights to the file (and that the file is local to your machine)?

    In unstructured mode, I'd expect that if one can add/modify/save anything about an open document, they can do so for almost everything in the document Body, Master & Reference pages. Exceptions would include the content of Text Insets & the like.

    Structured might be a different story.
