Expertise
Basic set-up of books, master pages, generation of List of Effective pages (LEP), Indexing, auto-numbering. Various ways to import graphics, including advantages and disadvantages of importing into a text frame or importing into a "blank" page. Using a "book" to generate PDF files, with hyperlinking. Customization of function keys, currently setup for Frame 7.0 i.e. change F1 to turn "Change bar" On and Off, F2 to "Cut" a selection, F3 to copy, F4 to Paste, F6 to set line to "TOP OF PAGE" and Shift F6 to start line "anywhere" these can be easily your current config files and if you do not like them - old config files can be restored. I have no expertise in Structured Framemaker, (i.e. XML or SGML).

Adobe Framemaker - Distance between text and footnote


Expert: Wayne Johnson - 10/27/2008

Question
I just canīt figure out how to increase the distance between textflow and footnotes. They are almost on top of each other. I refer to the last line of the text and the first line of the footnotes.

I use FrameMaker 7.2, unstruktured.

Failed attempts:
- paragraph designer - basic: increase space "above paragraph" for the footnote paragraph tag.
- paragraph designer - advanced: change setting in "Frame above paragraph"
- format>document>footnote properties (no useful setting)
- view>options (no useful setting)

Help is much appreciated.

If you have your "footnotes" in a seperate frame from the main text frame - just go to the documents Master Page and adjust the Frames the way you want.
To get to the Master Page - go to Menu Bar - Select View - Master Pages and adjust the frames as you need.

If this doesn't help send me a copy of one of your files illustrating what you want to do.
Be sure to put Framemaker in the subject line.
