I need to add page revision markers to all of the pages in the dosüment and when I create List of Markers, I should see all of the revision information about the pages. Is it possible to do this automatically in FM 9 structured? I'm a new FM user

    Hello »new FM user «

    You can add markers wherever you want, even in structured documents. Whether they need to be structured elements or not is a different question. Either you use one of the existing marker types or create your own. Just make sure that you select the correct marker type when setting up the List of Markers.

    Before you proceed I encourage you to read this part of the manual/online help:

    Thank you but, I don't want to insert the markers one by one because I'm working on an existing document in FM7.2 which does not have any revision marker on some of the pages in the book. Therefore I should automatically insert markers on each of the pages even they are previously inserted or not, and then I'll create LOM. Is this possible ??

    ahyergok,

    I fear I do not understand your task. You also mention FrameMaker 9 Structured and FrameMaker 7.2. This is the "General" forum, if you already have structured documents, you better visit the "Structured" forum.

    If you want to mass insert a certain marker with the same content, you can do so using Find & Replace. FrameMaker has "Paste Clipboard" as a replace action, so you would create the marker once using the Special > Marker menu and fill it accordingly. The problem might be what you have to find, to be able to insert the marker.

    For more advanced solutions you would have to use programming (C, or FrameScript, or with FrameMaker 10 ExtendScript).
