That should work, Shlomo; I'd love to see the test page you work up.

Thank you!

Cheers,

I don't know of a built-in way of doing this, but a limited workaround is
available in the context of FM->PDF or FM->PS workflows: you can place the
filename variable in a text frame, add a short PostScript code fragments
before and after it, and tag the text frame as PS code. The PS fragments
will remove the extension and control the formatting of the filename.

If this approach is applicable, I can set up a .fm file demonstrating the
workaround.
