Question
Left Indent Setting for List Styles Not Retained
More fun with styles. Here's an odd problem: I have a Note
style in FrameMaker, all nice, looks great. I set the properties in
fmstyles.css for the Note (32px left indent, -24px text indent).
When I bring in my FM book, or even just Update All, the left
margin for my Note style now has 8px set for the left indent. I
didn't change it; who did?
When I bring up the Styles dialog (Format > Styles) and select my Note style, the settings I see are correct. However, when I click Format> Paragraph from within the Styles dialog, the left indent is 8px and the actual Note in my topic is not left-aligned to the correct distance (32px). I've gone into the fmstyles.css and made sure all the units were pixels; I've exited the project and then opened the project up and tried to update again and still the same left indent problem.
My fmstyles.css file is attached.
Now to make this even MORE of a mystery, when I right-click my main book in the RH Project Manager and select Properties, and get to the Style Mappings, and enter Styles for my Note style, the left indent NOW says -16px! Where did THAT come from?
Has anybody seen this kind of odd behavior in their own work? This feels a lot like a bug, or maybe I'm missing a step. Any help would be appreciated because every time I update, I have to manually go back in and change my left indent for a bunch of styles.
By the way, I'm seeing this in all of my numbered list and bullet list styles. And I edit the fmstyles.css file in Dreamweaver outside of RH.
