Greetings, I've been out of the Frame pool for the last several years. My newest gig was advertised as primarily task based authoring (oXygen), but it turns out there is a good deal of legacy work to be performed periodically in Frame.
They are all using 9, but I'll be using 10 and saving down to 9. In the past I've benefited a good deal by relying on keyboard shortcuts. I just emailed Shlomo to see if MicroType still has a product that will help out. It looks like a good deal of my initial work is going to involve cut and pasting content into existing Frame files. I got my feet wet yesterday, but it seems like I'm wasting a lot of clicks/keystrokes getting a paragraph from document A (a Man page, viewed in an HTML editor) pasted and properly formatted into document B (an FM file). I parse through the Man page to pick out the content I need and I paste it into correctly styled placeholder paragraphs. If I had a quick couple of keystrokes that would allow me to paste in the Man page content as plain text, allowing the existing Frame styles to apply, that'd be great. I used to use a Macro to do this kind of thing in Word (mapped plain text paste to Alt P). Anyone have a tip that would perform the plain text paste in a keystroke or two? Yesterday I tried looking thru my maker.ini to see about re-ordering the default priority of Paste Special (currently: RTF, Text, Unicode Text). My thinking was that if I could set Text as the default option, then if I had a keyboard shortcut for Paste Special, I would get a plain text paste when I hit the shortcut followed by Enter. However, I didn't see what I was looking for (hard to recall just WHAT I was looking for, it's been about 6 years since the last time I did this). Any insights would be great. I'd love to start smoking thru this task. Thanks in advance, JPK -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
