Re: [Framers] About text frames

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

If you have FrameScript, you can use one of the free
i-frame scripts from itl to set the default paragraph format
for new text frames:

I'm using FrameMaker 12.


-  Is there a way to disable the Number of Columns dialog that appears 
when you first create a text frame?

-  Is there a way to set the default paragraph format to something 
other than Body?
Thanks.

Re: [Framers] About text frames

[Craig Ede]

If I recall correctly, the text frames in graphics are found by search after 
the main text flow, so a search and replace started from the end of the main 
text flow might allow you to search on paratag Body and then paste the paratag 
of your choice. It'd be a one-change at a time process, but could work if there 
aren't too many such paragraphs. (I believe I've used this technique in the 
past, but memory is a funny thing and I don't have time to test this now.)

And extendscript could certainly do this by skipping such paras in the main 
text flow and and ref and master pages and only changing them elsewhere. Rick, 
could you comment?

Hi Pat, 

ok, I understand, that is true. No, I think there is no way to change
this. 

I would recommend to simply copy/paste the callout frames from an
exiting frame instead of inserting new text frames. 

Best regards - Tino H. Haida

Re: [Framers] About text frames

[Pat Christenson]

I'll clarify further.

When I create a text frame for a callout to a graphic, it always defaults to 
Body. I have a paragraph format called Callout. Can I change the default 
paragraph for a text frame to Callout?

I can't simply redefine Body to match the settings of Callout because we use 
Body throughout our documents.

Pat

To change the paragraph tag for a new .fm file, ee "Change the template for

Other than that, the paragraph tag for a new paragraph is set by the Next Pgf

Re: [Framers] About text frames

[Heiko Haida]

 

Hi Pat, 

a) no (you could write a script for this, or you copy an already
existing text frame) 

b) well, you can delete the "Body" format and use this file as a
template.
Can you describe a situation when FrameMaker needs to apply the "default
para format"? 

Best regards -- Tino H. Haida
