WHERE did I go wrong?

FrameMaker 2017

Step 1.  FILE--->New--> Book

Step 2.  STRUCTURE tab  --> Validate and click "StartValidating"

Element Validation Error  > Element: NoName. Element is undefined

HOW DO I FIX THAT???

Rhonda,

When you create a new book it does not automatically include an element catalog. If you already have an EDD or another structured book or document you can import the element catalog from there. Use File > Import > Element Definitions...

The element catalog will now include a list elements and if you select the NoName element you can then rename it using one of the available elements.

I hope this helps?

Ian

Hi Rhonda,

Along with what Ian said, it is difficult to understand where you are in this process. To change an element tag, you just use the change function in the Elements pod. But, that is typically the activity of an end user within a functioning architecture. I can't understand if you are in the middle of trying to build a structure definition or what. The simple answer to your question is "use the Elements pod." But if you are involved in something more complex, you may need to spend some time in study and/or training to get up to speed. Structure is not complicated but there are a number of moving parts.
