1. Re: “couldn't update this book because it contains no openable nongenerated files”
FieryPantone Jun 16, 2014 11:12 PM (in response to stephsaladino)A book is a set of links to for a) .fm files you've written yourself; b) files FrameMaker has helpfully generated for you. In my installation, the two sorts of content are differentiated by the colour of the icon; as you get used to FM, you'll also recognise the three-letter suffixes such as TOC.
My usual workflow is to write a few .fm files, then set up the .book file I want to include these chapters in: if you start a project with New > Book and then click on Update, you'll get the message you describe. Until you have populated the .book with some links to your own .fm files, FM has no way of knowing what you want to include in the generated files.
