Hi, all, I have a problem concerning inconsistent color definitions when I print a book file on the Linux system. The error message says: Color definition: Color8 is inconsistent This may relate to the fact that this .fm file is copied from Windows version FrameMaker file. How can I solve the problem? Thank you in advance for any help. Alice

The message means that a color named "Color8" is defined in more than one of the files in the book, and that the definition differs between the files. This could be highly undesirable if the color is being used and you are doing color productions. The remedy is to make all color definitions the same in all files by importing color definitions to the entire book. BTW, the message is a warning and should not prevent you from printing the book. If you're familiar with the files in the book, and you feel confident that "Color8" is not used for anything important, and you're not doing high-quality color productions, then: 1. In the book window, select all the files in the book. 2. In the book windows, select File > Import > Formats 3. Deselect everything except "color definitions" 4. At the top, select the file you copied from Windows in "import from document" 5. Click "import" 6. Save all files and try printing again. If you're not familiar with the files and you're not sure if "Color8" could be used for anything important, you should either consult with someone who designed the files, or at least select one of the other files in the book to import colors from. In this case, find a file in the book that contains the color "Color8" (use View > Color > Definition). Once you've found such a file, follow the instructions above and use this file to import colors from. Even better is if you have access to a template file for the book that contains all definitions of formats. Then open that file in FM and use it to import from. -- /Thomas Michanek
