You've identified one of the long-standing inconsistencies in the FrameMaker UI. In the Size box of the Character Designer dialog, the "as is" state is indicated by emptiness. Same with Spread and Stretch. All three of these properties allow a continuous range of values rather than being picked from a finite list, and I suspect that this fact complicated the ability to explicitly indicate "As Is" in the box for some reason.
If you have already applied the Hyperlink tag to anything when it had a specified size of 11 pt, that size is now a property of the text. It will not change when you redefine the character format of the tag to be "as is" because the "as is" size is 11 pt. If the character tag is applied within the cross-reference format, I believe you'll need to reinsert the cross-reference to get the oversize characters to revert to the underlying paragraph specification for your table footnote. -Fred Ridder From: beverly_robin...@datacard.com To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:05:22 -0600 Subject: Character Tag "As Is" setting--isn't FrameMaker 10.0.2.419 on Windows 7 64-bit My template has a character tag, Hyperlink, that makes text blue. The Size setting had been at 11 pt, the size for Body paragraphs. Recently I needed to use the tag in a cross-reference in a table footnote. Table footnotes are 9 pt. So I changed the Size setting to As Is but:? After clicking As Is, the Size control doesn?t say ?As Is??it?s blank.? Hyperlink text in table footnotes is larger than 9 pt. FrameMaker help says nothing about this anomaly and I didn?t see anything similar in the first 5 pages on the FrameMaker user forum. Has anyone else run into this? Found a solution?
