Have you done a MIF wash on the files, Mike? If not, try the wash and then repeat the Toolbox deletion step.

In FM, we were able to remove all the artifacts from Word except for the color definitions. We are not using any of the Word colors in the FM files, but we can't delete them from the files' color catalogs, either. The colors are listed in the Color Definitions window and in the Character Designer window. They are labeled "RGB <RGB_number>", such as RGB 177,197,218. The usual FM procedure for deleting colors simply doesn't work; nor did Toolbox (it threw errors -17 and 12). It appears that the Word colors are embedded in the FM files in a unique way that prevents them from being deleted. Any ideas on how we can delete them? = Mike Bradley www.techpubs.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [email protected].
