When I apply a character tag to part of a heading and generate a TOC, the TOC entry will be clickable up to where the character tag has been applied. I have this issue both in the Frame document and the PDF file. Any suggestions how to resolve this? I'm using FrameMaker 8.0p277 and Acrobat 7.0.5 on Windows. Regards, JoH

That's a known issue. I haven't checked to see if it's fixed for 9 but will. Sorry, no suggs other than the obvious. Cheers, Sean

It's not an issue, rather a design feature ;-) FM uses the formatting range to determine where to set the boundaries of the hypertext link area. If you do not apply any different formatting tags, then the link will extend over the entire paragraph. I believe Rick Quatro has a fix for this, but I can't remember if it's a plug-in or FrameScript (though I suspect it's the script). See http://www.frameexpert.com for contact info.

Thanks a lot for your replies. Maybe I'll find a fix Arnis, I rather suspect this is not quite a design feature, or (fortunately) implementend inconsistently ... In contrast to the TOC, cross-reference hyperlinks extend over the entire text referenced from the target, including the areas to which a character tag is applied. Regards, JoH

JoH, The boundaries of cross-refs are explicitly defined by other means, so the mechanism for determining the range of the hypertext link area uses that.
