[oXygen-user] Going from FrameMaker to oXygen -- Print-ready/Outline view issues

[Frank Dissinger]

Thank you, Radu, for the CSS code.


I have successfully implemented this button and it is a good workaround 
until a keyboard shortcut is available.


I have made it to always stick at the top right of the Editor window 
using the CSS property "position: fixed".


Unfortunately, this CSS code does not work with the "Print ready" style, 
only when it is disabled. As a result, I had to adjust a few more CSS 
styles to reimplement the visual representation that I wanted.


Regards,


Frank
