Frame anchoring position and alignment modified during Book update procedure

Question

In FrameMaker 2020, including revision 3, when a book is updated (to generate the ToC and Indexes), the position of anchored frames gets modified. The most annoying case is when the anchoring position is changed from "Run into Paragraph" to "Below Current Line". This has an important impact on the text flow; i.e. this can push titles and markers to the next page, making the ToC and/or indexes show incorrect page references. This bug does not exist in FrameMaker 2019.

Hi,

FrameMaker does not generally change any anchoring positions. I use FM 2020 since it was released, and I did not notice such an issue. And I did not hear this from others.

Could it be that you use object styles, and your applied object style changes the anchoring position of your anchored frames?

Although the Update command should not apply object styles.

Or did you import accidentally import object styles with Import Formats?

Do you notice your issue with all your books?

Do you have the latest FrameMaker update? The current version is 16.0.3.979. (You find this in Help | About.)

Best regards

Winfried
