Colin,

Go to the custom master page, Control-click on it to select it, and choose
Graphics > Object Properties. Change the sidehead settings there and your
body pages will update accordingly.

Hi Rick,

It's been my experience that the Column Layout function will apply sideheads
to the non-default master pages, once that mater page has been associated
with a body page, such as a Start Page to begin your chapter. But, once the
sidehead is added to this page, the Column Layout function will not remove,
or update, the sidehead on that custom page/Start Page. In order to rid
myself of an unwanted sidehead on a custom page,  I've had to disengage the
custom master page from the body page, delete the master page, and create a
new master page, which I then associate with the body page.

Am I misunderstanding the functionality and making extra work for myself? If
so, let me know how to properly go about this. Or, if this is in fact how
Frame works, then it becomes a debaters point over whether or not a design
flaw is a bug (a conversation from which I will graciously abstain). That
is, I don't mean to quibble; I simply want to understand.

Thanks, Rick.

Sincerely,

Colin

This is not a bug. The Column Layout dialog only applies to Default master
pages.

No.

No.

You can dynamically create rows in FrameMaker by pressing Control-Return.
This works in 5.5.6 as well as 6.0. Cursor movement between cells has not
changed in 6.0
