Word and Frame comparisons
I can think of at least one thing FrameMaker can do with paragraph updates that I don't think is possible in Word; you can globally update multiple paragraph styles in one step: (1) Create "Heading1" "Heading 2" "Heading3" next to each other (2) Drag select through these 3 paragraphs, and Control-M to open Paragraph Designers (3) Go to font level. Notice that there is no name displayed for the paragraph style and that some of the values are set to "As Is" (probably font size) (4) Change the color to Blue and click on Update All (5) FrameMaker will ask you if you'd like to apply only font changes to paragraphs in selected area (6) Click OK, and you have just changed the catalog definition for 3 paragraphs in one step.

mapping table mystery--or is it misery?

Why??? I use PureText to paste only the text content: http://stevemiller.net/puretext/ There are also other solutions out there, e.g. an AutoHotkey script: ^+v:: ; Convert any copied files, HTML, or other formatted text to plain text Clipboard = %Clipboard% ; Paste by pressing Ctrl+V SendInput, ^v return There are many variants, discussed e.g. here: http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/10412-paste-plain-text-and-copycut/ Best regards Winfried This e-mail contains privileged and confidential information intended for the use of the addressees named above.
