RE: FrameMaker Freebie

[ADAM MORGAN <adam.morgan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I understand how to create a rotated page.  My question was to clarify why the counter does not seem to update correctly as a first reference in the section.  If I insert another table title before the rotated frame, the table counters update correctly, which implies that the rotated frame
containing the table is connected to the main flow.  

I'll put the answer down as "(you get this really nasty cyclic reference problem)." 

Thanks for the feedback.

Adam

To the best of my knowledge, you can not connect the text frame inside an anchored frame with the text frame containing the anchor itself (you get this really nasty cyclic reference problem).

Two possible answers are:

1) design a landscape-oriented page layout for the table (my preference)
or
2) place an UNTITLED table in a rotated text frame in an anchored frame (as Adam is currently doing) where the anchor is in a "TABLE TITLE" paragraph in the main flow so as to sequence correctly.

The text frame inside an anchored frame is not automatically connected to the main flow. Either manually connect it, or look up "rotating pages" in the User Guide for a different approach to accomplish a landscape table on a portrait page.
