Dear Julie, Thank you very much, this looks exactly like what I need!
Come to think of it, when I was using FrameMaker on Unix, I would have written a script using fmbatch to generate MIF, process the text using some of the standard Unix utilities, and convert back to .fm format. On Windows it's not as straightforward so your scripts will be very welcome. Thanks a lot, -- Bertrand Meyer -----Original Message----- From: Myers, Julie L [mailto:my...@iodp.tamu.edu] Sent: Friday, October 23, 2020 22:33 To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Cc: bertrand.me...@inf.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [Framers] Basic question: hyperlinks to paragraphs I have a couple of ExtendScripts that might help. One adds a newlink to specific paragraph formats and the other adds the gotolink. You would need to customize them and possibly modify them in other ways, but it might be a start. Let me know if you would like for me to send them to you. (I don't know if we are allowed to send attachments here.)

A cross-reference is a hyperlink. If you are using a specific paragraph tag for your target, why not just use a cross-reference? Or you could use Glossary markers. Matt Sullivan has a good section explaining how to set up Glossary Terms and Glossary Definitions (marker types you'd have to create) in his FrameMaker Working with Content book ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://techcommtools.com/books/__;!!KwNVnqRv!Uj thGn2Gjlzi2JoNodQTJ_4BVpr2g5seqMVlSLBfO4dITNyRREzSCnJtG8lNxeP8Mw$ ). That one is for 2017, but he's putting out one for 2020 soon. On Thu, Oct 22, 2020 at 1:40 PM Bertrand Meyer <bertrand.me...@inf.ethz.ch> wrote: > This is a novice question.

I was about to do the same, but then my Inner Voice said "Nah - you've been out of the loop too long: you're missing something.
