Anchored Frame in DITA file

Report · Oct 22, 2008

I inserted an <image> element in a DITA file. In the dialog box, I selected a screen shot (JPG). FM inserted an anchored frame with the graphic in it. The anchored frame was cropped, so I did Special>Anchored Frame and cleared Cropped. Worked fine, so I saved and closed.<br /><br />I opened the file and the anchored frame is cropped again. Re-did above steps, saved and closed, reopened, anchored frame is cropped again.

Hi Michael...

In the read/write rules file, add the following rule to the image element ..

fm property cropped value is "0";

If you make this change, be sure to update the rules files in both the Topic and Book applications.

This and other FrameMaker/DITA tips are available at ..
