Was Paste Special

Hello, Thanks for the reminder about paste special. Is there something similar to change for shrink-wrapped images? When I use ESC + m + p and get a shrink-wrapped image in my anchored frame the anchored frame settings are At Insertion Point and I have to manually set it for Below current line,

Using variables for single sourcing

In FM 7.2, is it possible to use a variable in the following locations? 1. Within the text of an index marker? 2. As the directory path of a text inset or a graphic? The purpose is single-sourcing. I want to store the name of a product in a variable. I want the index entries, the screen

Re: Replacing Framemaker

Hi Becky, I am as bullish on FrameMaker as anyone, but it is not inaccurate to say the FrameMaker is starting to show its age. As for lack of recent development, there have been few noteworthy improvements in unstructured FrameMaker since version 6 improved the book window. As Frame users, we

1. Just using FM, no. I use a plug-in, Index Tools Professional (http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html) to let me use variables in the index entries. It's US$20, I believe. 2. Don't think so, but I suspect that FrameScript could change the path throughout a book to link to files

Hi David... Neither of those are possible with default Frame. We do have a plugin, MarkerTools, that lets you use variables within markers .. http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/markertools.php That's an interesting idea of changing the path for references based on a variable's value ..

I use Frame 7.0p579. I have an unstructured Frame document in which a locked text frame named HIDDEN mysteriously appears over the main text frame (which is named A). With this strange text frame superimposed over my text, I can't do perform any editing on my text. I can, however,

When I've seen this, there are Master Pages that do not contain a text flow A. Everything's OK until you view Master Pages, then view Body Pages and Remove Overrides. Try renaming your main body flow back to A -Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training, Inc. An Adobe Authorized Training Center

Ellen, you can fix that by using this patch. It shrinks the frame leaving your settings as is. http://martinek.us/shrinkwrap.html Mark -Original Message- From: framers-bounces+mark.southee=surfcontrol@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+mark.southee=surfcontrol.com at
