I wasn't suggesting a table by table approach, but a search and replace approach of the kind Shmuel describes. Framemaker could do the search and replace, but Notepad++ is a lot more efficient.
Notepad++ seems to work using search and replace as follows (for all tables). You could restrict it to the particular table setting you want removed if you'd like. Use the regular expression option. Set Find to <RowMinHeight *.*"> Set Replace to <RowMinHeight 0"> If you cut & paste a <RowMinHeight x.xxx"> line from the mif, you'll get the right space and tick marks. Here's a JPG showing the options selected in Notepad++. Do a Find Next to make sure you are getting what you want and then do a replace all. Retain a copy of your original file. Note that you can do the replace on a whole series of open documents. search.JPG Craig From: Shmuel Wolfson [mailto:shmue...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2014 11:42 AM To: Craig Ede; Framers Subject: Re: Removing custom row heights Yes, but this could take a long time if you have a lot of tables with a lot of rows. However, if you do the search and replace using a text editor that supports regular expressions (Notepad++, etc.) this could be a good solution. The regular expression to search for would be "RowMinHeight [0-9]*.[0-9]*" (without the quotes) and replace with RowMinHeight 0.

FrameMaker seems to take things over from there using the current paragraph tag to set the height to the minimum without obscuring text. If all your custom settings are the same (for example: "1.56789") you can do a simple search and replace in the mif. Replace: <RowMinHeight 1.56789"> with <RowMinHeight 0"> It looks to me like you could reset all tables by just removing the <RowMinHeight x.xxxxx> line from the mif. That would require a more sophisticated find value that used wildcards (or regexp) Try this on a copy of a file and see if that works for you.

Does anyone know of a way to global reset the row heights to the defaults? I can't find anything in FrameMaker so I'm wondering if there's an add-on for it.
