Can't create LOM with Custom Marker

Report · Jun 22, 2011

Is there a way to create a List of Markers with a custom marker? For example, I created a marker named Warning and another one named Caution. I want to create a LOM for each of these. But when I try to add a LOM in the book, those markers are not options, only the system markers.

I'm using FM 9.

Thanks,

Karen

Karen,

I use FrameMaker 9. The List of Custom Markers AND the Index of Custom Markers both work for me. The only difference is that I am using structured FrameMaker, but it would think it should work in unstructured FM.

Maybe others might know what else you need to do to make it work.

One guess is that your new marker types need to be imported into all the files in the book, possibly the book itself. I do not know how they are stored. Maybe they are variable definitions or maybe document properties, but I am just guessing.

I'm just not patient enough. After I generated the book once after I created the marker, the custom markers were in the list the next time. Thanks for your response!

Thanks,
