LOCKED - Troubles with RH's transform of FM figure titles/tbl captions' formats... Same problem?

[Burtin]

Source agent:  FM 9.0p250, unstructured

Transformative agent:  RH 8.0.2.208

OS:  WinXP Pro V. 2002 SP3

CPU:  Core2 Quad @ 2.4 GHz

Swap: D & E (system-managed)

Is anyone else experiencing problems with RH not correctly transforming FM figure and table titles? I can get most of my design to work, but I am having a problem with RH not following-through with some of my table title format and figure title format specifications.

I am having problems with RH not correctly applying, or inconsistently applying, figure title and table caption attributes ("Paragraph" settings) that I specify through Project Settings | Import | Edit | Conversion Settings.

For example (in FM Table Designer), I have a table title paragraph design, "TT.Table Title", in which I specify Title > Above Table, and specify a paragraph design (FM style) of Arial, 10pt, regular, bold, 0" indents, alignment left. It works fine direct to print or PDF; the same is true with figure titles.

In RH (through Project Settings | Import > Edit | Conversion Settings [FrameMaker Settings] > Paragraph), I specify that the FM style is to transform through an RH style that I define (through Edit Style button > Styles > Format > Paragraph). I set the alignment, etc., as is required through RH, but when I look at the Design view and/or generate the output (say...Webhelp), RH has not correctly interpreted one or more of my specification's attributes.

For example, in the case of my table titles, in Design view, RH has centered the title (or in RH terms, the ''Caption") above the table. Or sometimes the bold attribute is missing. In Project Manager, if I right-click and select View, the title/caption sometimes appears as specified; however, if I Generate the WebHelp (or HTML Help, or whatever), the bold formatting isn't there.

I thought that maybe RH defaulted figure and table titles to a Caption, as that is what it calls that part in the Design view. But when I set Caption to my specs, it made no difference.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

This one sounds like it should be over in the FM Integration forum?

[Burtin]

I posted the question here because it really isn't about FM integration but RH transformation. RH is integrating the input...it just isn't processing it correctly internally or as output. I have also posted the same question in the FM forum.

Thanks for your take on the question...

Please don't post the same question in two categories as apart from being against the forum rules it results in messy answers. Some in one category and some in another.

Here's a link to the other thread for anyone able to help Burtin.

The FM Integration category is for anything to do with issues that arise with FM to RH. FM has its own category for FM issues and there are various RH categories for content created in RH.

I am going to lock this thread so that answers end up in the right place.
