Project mappings versus file-level mappings

Before you get too embroiled in mapping your styles, there's one critical concept you need to know about: project mappings and file-level mappings. WebWorks Publisher lets you set up project mappings, which apply to every file in your project. These mappings become part of the template and should be the mappings you use most of the time. But occasionally, you'll need to customize a mapping for a single file. In this case, you can use file-level mapping.

To set up a mapping for your entire project, make sure that you select the FrameMaker and Generate Files folder at the top of your project before you begin mapping. To set up a mapping for an individual file, select that file in your project window before you begin mapping.

WARNING: After you display the Properties window, there is only one way to tell whether you're working at the project level or the file level-if the Apply these style mappings globally check box is available, you're in the file level; if it's grayed out, you're at the project level.
