Is indeed a problem.  I use the TOC paratags and let maker number when
generating the TOC.

In the numbering option for each paratag:

TitleTOC   : <n+>< =0>< =0>  (I number headers two levels deep.)
2HeaderTOC : <n><n+>< =0>  (the =0 resets the number to 0 without printing.)
3HeaderTOC : <n><n><n+>    (Note: the space in front of the = is needed.)

On the TOC reference page (for your example above), I would use:

Chapter <$paranum> <$paratag> | Page <$pagenum>  ( | indicates tab)

This should generate what you want.

Bingo!

I thought it would be enough to set autoconnect on in the template
and apply the template, or to open a new file using the template and
cut-and-paste everything in.  It turns out that autoconnect was
still off.  Turning it on for each chapter and re-generating did
indeed fix the problem.

Michael, thanks.  Next time you're in New Jersey, I owe you a

I don't know how to solve your particular situation, but in general, you can still  
connect 2 columns even after one has been deselected - at least on a NeXT.

A faster way to arrive at your destination is to "Find" the text where you want to  
go - then arrow-key around from there. Maybe some aerobics fanatic in your group

I'm running into the same problem.  I have the following tags set up
in each chapter:

ChapterNumber: R:<n+>< >< >
TableCaption:  R:<n>-<n+>< >
FigureCaption: R:<n>-< ><n+>

ChapterNumber appears at the beginning of each chapter.  Since I
don't actually want the chapter number to show up by itself on the
page, the text is set to color white.

I have a book set up with generated files Table of Contents, List of
Tables, List of Figures, followed by 16 chapters and 1 appendix.  In
the book, I have set up chapter 1 so that page numbering and
paragraph numbering reset; all following chapters are set up so that
page numbering is reset and paragraph numbering continues.  I have
tried this with small subsets and it occasionally works that way,
but when I get the whole book together, no dice.  All chapters are
chapter 1.  Now I can't even get small samples to work.

This is occurring with Windows FrameMaker 3.0p2 and with Macintosh
FrameMaker 3.0.  Help!

I've cross posted to a few groups, and if this doesn't fit in the group it
has landed in I apologize.

For a project I'm now working on I need to locate a reference that will detail
the various formats used by word processors, and possibly other file formats
as well.  Of particular interest is the Word for DOS, Word for Windows,
AMI Pro, XYwrite, Describe, WordPerfect, Displaywrite, etc. etc.

If anyone knows of where I might be able to get this information, either
FTP, download, or book from a book store, I'd really like to find out.

Whatever help and direction anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance.

Among several factors two important quantities affect the imaging when
scanning photographs or displaying images with pixels on a monitor: the
number of detectors/pixels per inch, and the size of them.

    The first quantity limits the "geometric imaging" through
    the Nyquist criterion. This means that an object with F0 [dpi]
    (F0/2 [lines/inch]) requires F0 detectors/pixels per inch for
    preserving the geometry.

    The second quantity limits the "modulation imaging" through
    the MTF of the detector/pixel (and optics etc). For a quadratic
    detector/pixel with the size 1/F0 [inch] the MTF will be
    sin(PI*V/F0)/(PI*V/F0), with V measured in [lines/inch]. The
    limiting spatial frequency will be 2*F0 [dpi] (F0 [lines/inch]).
    NOTE that the modulation will be 0 at this spatial frequency.

For a scanner/monitor with quadratic detectors/pixels mounted side by side
this means that resolving 300 [dpi] geometry and modulation require AT LEAST
300 detectors/pixels per inch. NOTE that the modulation will be damped with
a factor of about 0.6 for 300 detectors/pixels per inch, and 0.9 for 600
detectors/pixels per inch. In practice the damping will be even worse since
MTF of other components, such as optics and stray light, must be included.

You will have to 'calibrate' your printer. The final print needs just a trace of
ink in the highlights, and not quite 100% in the shadows. To get this you USUALY
need a fine dot in the halftone hilights, and a small white 'dot' in the darkest
areas. Include a gray scale and go off that. Examine the PIXELS in the data
with a 'magnifier', or use a real loupe on the film. Then adjust for the effects
you printer introduces. He will probably be able to tell you about the corrections
you need for his press. Note that if you change ink, paper, press, plate type,
Phase of moon etc you get to do it ALL again...

Why are you outputing 300dpi files BTW? Why not full 2400?

I've seen this bull too. Need I say more? The problem is that a simplistic
'resolution required' test fails in many subtle important cases, where the
resolution errors compound in horrid ways. That is why good typesetters run
~7k dots per inch or more.

Knuth, in one of the TeX/Metafont books/srticle gives a sobering example of
round-off error in the 13 odd decimal place. Can't find the ref at the mo...
In the article on device drivers I think.

The Kodak leaflets on screening have a lot of good stuff on this ( or at least
they used to, I haven't looked at onne for 20 odd years... )

Subject: DVIPS can't find PK files.
Date: 30 Dec 1992 11:27:47 +0000 (GMT)
Organization: Info-Tex<==>Comp.Text.Tex Gateway
X-Gateway-Source-Info: Mailing List

I have a question concerning DVIPS.

Our TeX/LaTeX installation is running on a VAX/VMS system and we are
currently trying to implement DVIPS (we have been using PSPRINT so
far).  Most fonts we use in LaTeX are PostScript fonts, but there are
still a few Computer Modern fonts left, such as the teletype font
(which we prefer to Courier), math fonts, and some more.

The problem is that DVIPS looks for Computer Modern PK file in the
wrong directories, for example we get the following messages:

  dvips: Font [359]cmmi10.pk not found, characters will be left blank.
  dvips: Font [299]cmsy8.pk not found, characters will be left blank.
  dvips: Font [359]cmsy10.pk not found, characters will be left blank.

We do have these files, but the "nearest" directories are [360] and
[300], respectively.  The PostScript fonts work just fine, it's only
the Computer Modern fonts that do not work.  How come DVIPS "misses"
these directories?

Thanks for any comments.

I have received several (very similar) solutions.  However, they all
delete spaces as they work.  Does anyone have a solution that will
take:

	\ReverseMe{owt eno}
