I am currently loading a project that I created yesterday.
There were some problems, which I'll explain. At the moment, the RH
status bar says "Ready," and I am typing in a browser. If I switch
focus to RH, nothing happens until I move the mouse. As soon as I
move the mouse, an hourglass cursor appears, the RH status bar says
"updating bookmarks," and a progress indicator appears. Needless to
say, this is annoying.
The problems I had yesterday seem to concern autonumbering.
As part of my evaluation, I'm attemping to use "Convert
Autonumbering to HTML List." We use multilevel autonumbering, and
on the first go, RH did not pick it up. To simplify the tests, I
set Ignore Autonumbering for all tags except one, "step," and in
Frame I altered the autonumbering for "step" to <n+>\t. RH
then picked up the autonumbering and used <ol> (I presume),
but in topics with more than one sequence of steps, the
autonumbering did not reset. (I shpuld have checked the HTML, but I
didn't.)
To reset the autonumbering, I cleared Ignore Autonumbering
for the Frame tag that resets the counter. The autonumbering for
this tag (call it "step head") is simply < =0>. Then in RH I
selected Update. After a while, RH crashed with one of those "send
report to Microsoft?" messages. It was the end of the day, so I
left it there.
This morning I tried to reload the project (hoping to re-use
the Content Settings for another project). RH showed the following
message repeatedly, where "whatever.htm" represents the names of
different topics.
"File whatever.htm is generated from FrameMaker document. On
next update of the rameMaker document all the modifications to
whatever.htm will be lost."
The message had two check boxes, "Preserve modfifications to
this file" and "Don't show me this message again." With some
trepidation I clicked "Don't show me this message again" (does it
apply to this project only, or to all projects from now on?)
It was after all this that I began having problems with the
"Ready" status.
