Help with PBB Errors

Liam Maguire

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone with the gift of interpretation of errors could help me with this PBB error log? I can't make heads nor tails of it. 

Many thanks, Liam

"articles cannot be empty" prevents compilation succeeding and has arisen recently. See the posts starting with https://community.logos.com/forums/p/148415/938612.aspx#938612 for meaning and a solution. That should also get rid of essentially the same "Article Length is zero" messages.

The "empty style" messages will not stop compilation, but if they persist after fixing the errors, you might re-format per PB wiki:

Consistent Formatting

Consistent formatting is essential to getting your links compiled correctly e.g. it is almost impossible to notice different styles having the same font+size. Here is the best way to achieve this in MS Word:-

1. place your cursor somewhere in the document that has the desired formatting (style + font).
2. press CTRL+SHIFT+C to copy the formatting
3. select the text/link.
4. right click> Styles> Clear formating (or select Clear All in the Styles box)
5. press CTRL+SHIFT+V to paste the formatting.

Alternatively, just select text that should be one style e.g. Normal, and then apply the style from the Home > Styles popup menu.
