Hi People
I'm having problems with context rules not being executed as expected. I'm
probably doing something obviously wrong, but it's not obvious to me.
I have the following rule, which is incomplete at present:
Element (Container): TitleBody
General rule: TEXT, IndexTerm?
Text format rules
Niels,
Let's say the text you copy-specialed the character format from was body text.
Let's say it's 11-pt Times bold. If you do search-and-replace on any bold text,
and you have bold in your 10-pt tables and your 9-point footnotes and your
11-point Arial captions and your 12-point Arial

Hello Bob and fellow framers,
there is a quicker way for the last part the process you described:
...rename the tag to the appropriate character format in your template,
then reimport your template, then delete the charfmt tags from your
catalog.
It's a GREAT plug-in called TemplateMapper.
Hi, Bernard.
The XML file does not have tabs, but it does have spaces. Removing the
spaces is fixing the problem.

I'm having trouble searching for conditional text in Frame 6.0p405, on a

Hi Jennifer,
Keep in mind that when you search for more than one condition, you are doing
an AND search not an OR search. In other words, if you select comment and
site users it will only find text with both of those conditions applied.

We use Frame 7.0 and Acrobat 6.0, though some of us use Frame 7.1.
We've just purchased Acrobat 7.0. Is there a preferred list of steps
regarding how to best install this? Should we remove Acrobat 6.0
first, or let Acrobat 7.0 uninstall it for us?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I would like to convert text formatted as bold into text formatted by a
character format.
I don't think this should be hard, but it seems that there are likely to
be a number of ways of skinning this cat, and I'm interested in the pros
and cons. Any good plug ins or API clients
No need for plugins.
Select some text formatted with the char format you want to apply. Select Edit

find a character format. Set the dialog to As Is (Shift+F8), and choose Bold in
the Weight box. OK out. Then, in the

just those of the character format applied to it. When you replace by
pasting, you will be pasting more than just the character format's

Hi Rick,
I don't see the problem. If I Copy Special a Char Format, say the Emphasis
format, and replace a bolded text by pasting the Char Format, then the text is
stamped with the Emphasis format - the bold goes away, and the text is
emphasized. If you later change the format, then the

We get hard coded stuff coming over from Word all the time. The most
efficient way we've found to find and tag all of it with the appropriate
character tag is to use the file/utilities/create and apply formats.
This will create a format for any untagged and hard coded formatting, ie

That was it, thanks! Somehow, during my tweaking of the base install

Fortunately there was a copy in the Legal directory (did I put it

I let Acrobat 7 do its
In my experience, the best approach is to use the Windows
Add/Remove Programs tool (which I normally prefer to avoid)
to remove Acrobat 6.0 and each of the patches for it (you
*did* keep current with all the patches, didn't you) before
installing version 7.0.
My opinions only; I don't speak for
Actually, the only kosher way to uninstall Acrobat under
Windows is to use the Windows Add/Remove Control Panel.
That invokes the "uninstaller" that is installed by the
Acrobat Installer! (Isn't that as clear as mud?)
To be very clear about this, you are looking for big time
problems if you
Coincidentally, I just upgraded from 6 to 7 yesterday. The Acrobat 7 installer
made me uninstall 6 before continuing. It doesn't do it automatically for you.
Since installation of Acrobat 7, my poor computer is struggling -- apparently
