I think the problem might be that a file contains a FORMAL figure 
that tries to use the ONLINE_POPUP tag---probably a no-no (although there 
should be a graceful exit). If this figure remains formal, the
ONLINE_POPUP should be removed. I think this was causing the 
_DECW_SEMIFORMAL_7 error.

    Yes, Marty is right. Using an <online_popup> in a formal figure
    will result in this error. Since formal figures are already 
    popups, there is no need to use the <online_popup> tags in this
    context.
    
    The other problem with this file is that (I believe) the 
    <endpart_page>(renumber) tag is being used in part pages. This
    is a bug with this release of the tools and will be fixed in
    the next release.

I've been trying unsuccessfully to build a book containing <PART> tags.
The errors I receive are essentially the same as those in .0 (undefined
symbols), but I am not using any figures, online tags or anything else
very complicated.  I have cut the file down to the following (uninspiring)
document to illustrate the problem:

<front_matter>
<title_page>
<title>(Test)
<endtitle_page>
<contents_file>
<endfront_matter>

<part>(Overview\overview_part)
<part_page>
<title>(Overview)
<endpart_page>

<chapter>(Introduction\intro_chapter)

<p>
<reference>(overview_part).  <reference>(reference_part).


<part>(Reference Part\reference_part)
<part_page>
<title>(Reference Part)
<endpart_page>

<chapter>(Summaries\summaries_chapter)

<p>
<reference>(overview_part).  <reference>(reference_part).

When I run this through DOCUMENT (using the Jan 16 online tools), there
are no undefined reference messages during the tag translation or text
formatting stages, but I get the following messages during device conversion:

%DOC-I-IDENT, VAX Document V1.1
[ D e v i c e    C o n v e r s i o n ]...

        pgid =   8, offset =    219, symbol = 'REFERENCE_PART'

Do you know what's happening here?  Any work-arounds?

    This has been fixed and will be in the next release which will be
    very soon.

Was this problem really fixed in the 20-Mar kit?  I installed it today 
and tried to build the same book.  I got errors similar to those in .3 during
the device conversion stage.

    Yes, the problem you reported in a previous reply was fixed: I
    used your example as one of my test files. Could you send me
    your log file?
    
    Thanks,
