Importing a FrameMaker book: a graphics problem

[Guest]

Hello poor Robohelp users 😉 I couldn't image that such a seemingly trivial action as importing FrameMaker files into Robohelp could be such a headache. I am using the latest version of both products. When I import a FrameMaker book into Robohelp, the following problem arises: pictures appear with a large left margin, and what is more disturbing is that they can appear under the body text itself (as a background). In addition, figure captions appear above the figures instead of under them. Note that in the previous version of Robohelp, such problem did not arise. Any ideas, boys and girls? :-)

Thank you all in advance!

Hi Nancy,
You don't mention what your settings are for your graphic frames.
You may be able to solve some problems by resetting those.

For instance, if you are using Alignment: Center, you will get a large left margin.

Try using Alignment: Left, and in the anchored frame itself, add just the margin you want. (Make the anchored frame roomy enough to include your margin.)

In my project, my FM anchored frame settings are:
Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
Alignment: Left
Width: 6.5
Height: adjusted per graphic

That works well for me.

As for your figure caption problems, how about some info about your paragraph tag settings?

Hint: use a special tag devoted solely to hang your anchored frames from, like, maybe "anchor graphic".

Don't attach your anchored frame to your figure titles.
