Hi all,
I'm having a problem with printing in Frame 5.5 . Maybe someone on this
list can help.
I have a multi-chapter .book file. Most of it is printing fine. But for two
individual chapters, the text in the FIRST page of each respective chapter
does not print. (The text/cross-refs on the Body page don't print -
however, the thumb-tab, which is on the right Master page, prints. It's a
blank page with a black thumb-tab.)
I've tried copying the text on the page to a new file; that prints fine.
When I paste it back into the file, same problem. I've tried different
printers. I've tried the FrameMaker online help (it's abysmal).
Curiously, the little pink status-bar that 'fills up' when I'm printing
appears briefly when I'm printing JUST the offending page, but it doesn't
'fill up,' it just disappears. If I'm printing any other single page, the
status bar fills up as it prints, albeit quickly. (Therefore, FM is hardly
sending any data to the printer??)
Can anyone help? Please cc: me since I get the digest. Thanks in advance!
