mass update of system variable

2013-04-19 Thread Robert Lauriston
If the MIF snippet or some other approach works, you could do all files at once by creating a scratch book, using Windows' search to find all your .fm files, and dragging and dropping the found files into the book. Then, in FrameMaker, select all the files in the book and import the snippet.

And BookVars from Leximation (see http://leximation.com/tools/info/bookvars.php) is an excellent tool for the job - I maintain all my variables at the book level for consistent use. As I have also mentioned before, it is the single most used add-on to FrameMaker that I have. Highly recommended.

Hi Lin, I was sure. If you open a MIF snippet to be able to import formats from it, all variables which are not defined in the MIF snippet are populatead with the default values. That's why I never used it to import formats from it. However, if you do import formats, it seems that these default v

Hi, MIF snippets do not work. You can import the MIF snippet only via import by copy into a single file. If you would then import the variables from this file into other files (via import formats), you would import all variables. I would recommend to check the variable plugins from Leximation and

Great, Helen. Another way of doing it might have been to create colors under the names of the condition names: eOnly, Print1, etc. That way you would not have to remember any color names or to which condition each color applied. Cheers, Bodvar Bjorgvinsson On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 4:28 AM,
