Question

Master pages not correctly importing from template

Hi all,

I have a doc set I've been working with successfully for over a year, Fm11, patched, etc.

I just made changes to my template master pages, and they won't import properly into my chapter files...

They will import into a blank Fm doc, but will drop some of the objects from the master page when importing into the existing docs.

I tried a MIF wash on the template, no luck.

2 items of interest:

  1. The modified template uses Hotspots for navigation
  2. When I import the previous version of the template, the master pages for those don't update either.

Has anyone seen this before?

Matt,

Are the MPs not importng at all or just not being applied (to specific pages) during the import?

Are the hotspots on the MPs or the Body pages of your docs?

The issue started when adding hotspots to the mp's.

mp's are importing, but not all the elements...

The strangest part is that mp's will import into a new doc, and the old template will not import into these docs either.

I'm going to try mifwash on the docs, and if no luck, then import the docs into a new version of the template.

Truly bizarre behavior!

Any thoughts?
