Shrinkwrapping Equations in FrameMaker
Monday, December 08, 2008 — posted by Sheila Loring
Recently, I created several complex equations in FrameMaker 8/Windows XP Pro. I was very proud of myself for faithfully recreating the original equations imported as graphics from Word. When I went back to check my work, however, the equations were all wrong. Some of the characters had changed to question marks. My bubble suddenly burst! I knew I'd inserted the correct symbols! I had no idea what they meant, but they did look right.Luckily, an Adobe knowledge base article (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=319076&sliceId=2) addressed the problem in an older version of FrameMaker on the Mac. Characters displayed incorrectly after I shrunkwrapped the equation. After resizing the anchored frame a bit, the correct characters returned. The article also explained that this was strictly a display issue, and the equations would print correctly. Whew! My bubble quickly returned to its intact state.
