Page Thumbnails Window?

New Here ,
Apr 08, 2008 Apr 08, 2008
OK, so we just got our licensed copies of FM 8 installed today!! YAY!! But I am looking for a particular component that I can't seem to find... There was a little window, much like the catalog for paragraphs and characters, that displayed all the pages in your document and the templates they were using. They looked like little thumbnails of the pages and were labeled A, B, A, B, etc. Custom pages got renamed automatically C, D, etc. To add a new page, you just dragged a master page to the location of the new page and everything reordered itself appropriately. It looked and acted a lot like the thumbnail view in Acrobat. Anyways, I can't find this tool ANYWHERE. I must be going nuts... can someone please tell me where this went or if I am losing my mind?

TIA!

Sounds like a plugin....
Check the installation directory of the old version, in \fminit\Plugins\ and see what .dlls are there. Should be a couple FM files for sorting tables and stuff, but I suspect you have some extras.

Cheers,
Art

Are you sure it was in FM you saw this?

It sounds more like in InDesign.

I did a search for that type and couldnøt find anything even remotely close to what you're describing.

Charisma,

FM is not InDesign. Forget everything you knew about it when using FM,
the layout metaphor is completely different.

There is no such feature in FM out of the box.
