Can't remove page # in XREF:  FM to RH XREF mapping doesn't work (known problem?)

Hello,
After a few hours of head-scratching (something tells me this will be common as I work out the kinks while learning RH), I ran into what I think may be a problem or bug in RH.
My FrameMaker book includes a cross-reference format called "Heading" & page , which is defined as follows: <cross-ref>“<$paratext>” on page <$paranum[h1]><$pagenum>
My FrameMaker book is linked to my Robohelp project.
I tried mapping the cross-reference format in Robohelp to strip out the page number, so File > Project Settings > Edit Conversion Settings for FrameMaker documents > Cross-Reference, and I set the Robohelp Style to <$paratext>.
I did an Update, then Generate, and the page number would just not go away in the generated output!
I updated my FM book, recreated my RH project, re-did the linking, rebooted, defragged...I did whatever I could, to no avail.
I then changed the name of my cross-reference format in FrameMaker from "Heading" & page to Heading & page, and kept the definition as it was.
I remapped this new cross-reference format in RH, and did an update. At this point, the mapping worked and the page number was stripped from the output.
Does this make sense?
Although I have this workaround, why the limitation on the xref format name? I have quite a few formats with both quotation marks (" "), and I would like to avoid having to change them all.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!
Sue

Hi Jeff,
Correct. Stripping the quotes out of the cross reference format in FrameMaker before the conversion to <paratext> did not work. I still see the page numbers.
The preview text did change.
I am linking my Frame content into RH, as I am using this as a single source solution for user guides and online help.
This problem arose immediately after upgrade from TCS 3 to TCS 4
After trying multiple fixes, I am now having some really strange problems, so I am in the process of restoring a backup and starting from scratch.
Any ideas?
Thank you so much!

  • How can I remove print margins when manually setting them to zero doesn't work?

    I'm trying to print a web page that I've created with a custom paper size of 4.5x10.25 inches. I want the page to be printed right to the edge of the paper, with no margins at all.
    I've been reading for a few days and the best thing I can find is to use Mac's Page Setup dialog to create a custom paper size and custom margins, which I've done and set to the default for all of my printers. (Hopefully I'm able to post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/kVbOZLk.png). No matter what I do though I can't get the margins to go away. There's always always always a .75 inch margin when I print and when I print preview (Again, hoping I can post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/cxlVS8o.png). Just to note: The same thing happens printing other websites and documents (i.e it is not a problem with my website).
    Things I've tried:
    I've read that the margins are only visible in print preview and printing the page will remove them. This didn't work.
    I've tried tricking the system by setting my margins to 0.01 inches
    I've tried adjusting the website to not be exactly the size of the page (I made it smaller) and the margins were still there.
    I've set "print.print_extra_margin" to 0 in Firefox's about:config page.
    I've tried a different printer.
    I've tried a co-worker's machine running a newer version of OSX.
    I've made absolutely sure that my page size it set correctly.
    I'm using OSX 10.6.8 with Firefox v21.0.
    The closest I can come to this is using Google Chrome, where there is a specific option for "none" in margins and the Chrome preview looks okay, but I'm not able to specify paper size unless I click "Print using system dialog" which gives me the same problems as above.
    How do I remove the margins and just fit to the exact size of the page?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
    Does your Print dialog offer photo 'borderless printing' settings for various paper sizes?
    Every photo printer I've ever encountered leaves some unprintable margin, unless 'borderless' and/or 'photo' media are specifically selected.
    On many of the Canon inkjet color printers I've used, borderless printing is only available when one of the photo papers is selected, even when a custom size specified that is smaller than the actual paper, trying to make it 'borderless'
    I stitch together and print panoramas of theatre sets for my local community theater, so I end up with an image about 4.5 inches by 11.5 inches to be printed.
    Selecting a photo and opening in Preview and selecting 'Fill Entire Paper' illustrates the standard unprintable borders for my specific printer.
    When I open the panoramic image in Preview, I get this print preview. (The set image is of course rotated left)
    By selecting Letter and Borderless in the Paper Size dialog for my Canon MG5320 printer, I get this result.
    This particular Canon printer of course does NOT actually 'know' what paper is inserted, but the ink is applied assuming that a photo paper is being used, so it will saturate a standard paper.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I remove  pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

    How can I remove  pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you upgraded to Pages 5.0, the Mac App Store kept Pages '09 in case you want to use it again.
    To access to Pages '09, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open the old Pages version. To access to it quickly, you can drag the icon to the Dock.
    I do not recommend you to remove Pages 5.0 or the Mac App Store will be always asking you to upgrade Pages. Also, Apple will add more features to Pages 5.0 in the future. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • I bought one Iphone a 3 weeks ago and I can´t listen what people speak with me, because de microphone doesn´t work, I need  to use the speaker, somebody know what I need to do?

    I bought one Iphone a 3 weeks ago and I can´t listen what people speak with me, because de microphone doesn´t work, I need  to use the speaker, somebody know what I need to do?

    Just thought that I'd report that I've decided on my solution.
    It seems that just making do with what I can find on the US store is the easiest and perhaps also the best way of going about it. All other methods mean trouble. I'm lucky that China hasn't outright blocked the US store, as they HAVE blocked iTunes music store in China already (something about a song about Tibet caused them to block the store entirely).
    So yeah, just going to deal with it I guess. I should be grateful I'm getting anything at all, considering the country I'm in. Still, I just feel so ripped off sometimes when I pay for expensive devices and I can't even get much out of them do to my region. iPhones cost around $700 in China because there's no company like AT&T that you can just sign a contract with to get one, so you have to pay up-front for the phone, and get less features out of it in the end. Makes buying smart phones look like a waste of time and money sometimes, since you can't use the device to do what it was built to do due to censorship and not having any content for your region (though they do have a lot of Chinese apps that I can't use due to not knowing Chinese).

  • How can I remove sites listed under "Most Visited?" Clearing history doesn't accomplish this.

    The tool bar has a category "most Visited" sites and lists the top site. How can I remove this? Clearing the history has not accomplished this.

    Hi,
    Usually the category is emptied when the entire history range is erased. You can also permanently remove the '''Most Visited''' category by right-clicking on it and '''Delete'''.

    It would really help if you were a little more specific about what isn't working. Also try debugging your application in highlighted execution with probes to find out exactly what data you're sending out the port.

  • I can't open wmv files with Lion.  Windows media player doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    Unable to open wmv files using Lion.  Windows media player doesn't work.  Are there any suggestions.
    Thanks

    macfriedchikkin's reply would make sense to you if you were trying to open a camera, but if you are trying to view streming media from a web site that is a different story. It helps to be very specific about what you are tyring to do on these forums.
    I belive you would go into Firefox Preferences menu and tell it  to use VLC as the application to play WMV files. I'm still running Tiger,  however, so I can't tell you if it the latest version works wel that way. The Tiger version doesn't seem to, but a lot may have changed since then. (I'm only just getting around to installing Leopard next week now that there are too may apps I can't run on Tiger. ) Perhaps someone else on this forum can better help you set  up the player in your browser.
    Or you can cut out the middleman and give VLC the direct video URL:
    Choose Open File from the File menu and paste in the URL of the video, say,
    http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-1
    or http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-2
    Your media should play this way. Dont forget to save the playlist for later.
    I'l keep investigating on my end, and yes, I'm also  encouraging certain people who are streaming windows media in to switching to a different format

    If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
    If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
    Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

  • My Microphone doesn't work this problem started after i updated to IOS 7.1.1 can someone please help me.

    I just noticed when i Facetimed my friend and she couldn't hear me.

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
