Page Last Revised On?

Does your demands also inlcude that if a change on one page affect others pages (insertion or deletion of text), this timestamp changes on both/all pages affected.

Reason (not knowing your particular setup): You could imagine that a single change affect all following pages. Should these then have a changed time-stamp?

Or is the time stamp change related to content change alone?

I can only think of one way that it will work: I.e. if you have single page documents and a time variable is inserted into a Header/Footer section. I'm not saying it is good. but it will work.

Monica, Hillary -

FM is an excellent tool (and Rick a really good resource, whom I can highly recommend) - but I would also recommend that you take a look at this solution:

and also read:

This software was designed from the ground up for 'Change Page Publishing' and 'Loose-leaf Publishing'. And it comes with a very nice pricetag, too.

Hi Hillary. I recently began work on a set of manuals for an airline, and am interested to hear your thoughts on the toolset from Silicon Prairie for LOEPs. If you are OK with the idea, could you please send me your feedback? My email is monica [at] publishing-consultants [dot] com. Thanks, Monica

Hi, Hillary:

Look into LEP (List of Effective Pages) tools at:

Nothing "easy". FM's revision date variable is global to the document,
so it shouldn't be used directly for this purpose.

You might be able to use FrameScript for this. You can try contacting
Rick Quatro (if he doesn't pop in here) at rick (at) frameexpert (dot)
com to see if he's already done something similar to this.
