Utilities for FM 8

2010-02-11 Thread Joe Malin 
Hi!

After a 3-year hiatus I am trying to work with FM 8 (unstructured) again for
a non-work project. Having designed a lot of my own templates and documents,
I know a *lot* about what's built in to FM 8, but I've forgotten all the
utilities I once used such as Character Tools, Paragraph Tools, etc.

I'm looking for tools that will automatically copy formats, layouts, master
pages, reference pages, etc. from an existing document to a new one. Is
there a site somewhere that has a list of sources?

You can use CleanImport, a plug-in to purge the target doc's catalogs
and then to import the new settings from your source.

If you don't care about cleaning out the existing entries, just use
File  Import Formats in your target. This is additive, so any
existing tags / variables / settings will remain in place. If the
source file has the same tag / variable names, the new settings will
be imported.

Hi!

After a 3-year hiatus I am trying to work with FM 8 (unstructured) again for
a non-work project. Having designed a lot of my own templates and documents,
I know a *lot* about what's built in to FM 8, but I've forgotten all the
utilities I once used such as Character Tools, Paragraph Tools, etc.

I'm looking for tools that will automatically copy formats, layouts, master
pages, reference pages, etc. from an existing document to a new one. Is
there a site somewhere that has a list of sources?
