Configuring Paste
Greetings, Sometime ago, someone posted a lovely little trick where you can change something, somewhere and configure your paste settings. By default, if you copy something from Word and paste it into Frame, you get a Word object or something. I want to paste text. I edited a file somewhere, based off of suggestions from this list, and fixed it. Now I can't find the setting again. I'm having trouble finding my login for the FrameUsers site, so can't search the archives. If someone who remembers this setting would be so kind as to post it again, I'd really appreciate it. I'm now using FrameMaker 7.1p114, if that makes a difference. Thanks! Zoë Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection. Try the free Yahoo!

Re: Configuring Paste
You want the maker.ini file. I usually edit the copy in the FM install directory. Do a find for any of the paste flavors: TEXT, RTF, etc. to find the appropriate line to edit. Then just reorder the formats on the line so your favorite is first.

RE: Configuring Paste
Phil, Art, Richard, et al.: If the file format order is as listed, doesn't FM then paste even FM items as unformatted text? I'm wondering if there's a way to order those formats so that if it's FM source, it pastes FM but uses TEXT otherwise. Would the following work? ClipboardFormatsPriorities=FILE, TEXT, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP, MIF, RTF ...or does FILE include the formatting, etc., that would be on the clipboard from other non-FM programs? Also, would this affect pasting graphics? (Sorry if those are stupid questions...)

RE: Configuring Paste
FWIW, I would still recommend using a third-party format-stripper, such as HovText (which is a free utility) when copying and pasting from Word into Frame, especially. The reason? The Paste as Text option in Frame does not necessarily strip out all hidden Word formatting relics, so you can still have problems, as we have discovered the hard way. HovText does a superb job of making sure *all* you get is the text you want.

RE: Configuring Paste
Notice that the maker.ini item starts with the word clipboard, which refers to the Windows clipboard. FrameMaker only uses the Windows clipboard when pasting content that was copied in another application. FrameMaker-to-FrameMaker copy/pasting uses an internal mechanism that does not go through the Windows clipboard. Internal copy/pasting always comes with the formatting intact, which I actually find annoying about half the time (for examle, when I'm making a new heading from a phrase I copied from the text). My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Configuring Paste
Notice that the maker.ini item starts with the word "clipboard", which refers to the Windows clipboard. FrameMaker only uses the Windows clipboard when pasting content that was copied in another application. FrameMaker-to-FrameMaker copy/pasting uses an internal mechanism that does not go through the Windows clipboard. Internal copy/pasting always comes with the formatting intact, which I actually find annoying about half the time (for examle, when I'm making a new heading from a phrase I copied from the text). My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
