If all the text you want is in one flow, the solution is pretty easy. Just make a clean template file, then import the flow -- File>Import>File (by copying), specifying the flow you want to import -- from each legacy chapter file into a copy of the clean template. Everything that is not part of the imported flow will be left behind.
-Fred Ridder Subject: deleting orphaned text frames Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 15:32:16 -0400 From: [email protected] To: framers at lists.frameusers.com I have a book (inherited from an outside source) with hundreds of pages of orphaned text frames, some alongside good text, some simply preventing a blank page from being deleted. I can delete them individually, but this will take ages. I want to delete all of them in one swell foop, if I can. The orphans are all in an isolated, empty text flow called Notes. They are found in 27 chapters. They do not appear on the chapter Master pages, so I can?t simply delete them from one chapter?s master pages and then import the page formats to the other chapters. Re-applying clean master pages does not exorcise these ghosts. Has anyone seen such behavior? Any suggestions for getting rid of these frames, or the whole Notes text flow? john _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as DocuDoc at hotmail.com.
