Hi Andy, If you look in the maker.ini for this key, you can change the default paste:
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT, FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP, MIFW, MIF, RTF, UNICODE TEXT Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-659-8267 rick at frameexpert.com *** Frame Automation blog at http://frameautomation.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Andy Kass Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 12:54 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Inheriting formats when pasting Hi everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving, Here's a FM 8 (p277) question for you to ponder, it's been bugging me for some time. When I cut-and-paste between paragraphs of different fonts (or any other format), Frame remembers the source formatting, and pastes it along with the text. So our strict formats get all mixed up. I usually just use Paste Special... to paste as text, so it takes the formatting of the target paragraph. It's rather annoying to have to do 3 extra clicks to do something as simple as pasting. But even that doesn't work if I'm pasting a cross reference or special character like a non-breaking space--they get lost when pasting as plain text. For that, I have to do a regular paste, then reselect and fix the formatting to Default P Font. It seems that FrameMaker knows how to do this because if I do a search and replace with text that has special characters, they appear correctly anywhere they get inserted (though if you replace by pasting, you're back to the same problem). Is there a way to configure "smart" paste by default? Do FM9 or 10 behave differently? Thanks, Andy _______________________________________________
