Suzanne mentioned the Archive plug-in already, and I HIGHLY recommend it. We use it to capture all the files for the current documentation release and send them for translation, and we couldn't do without it, since our files are also stored in multiple folder locations. -Carla

FM 9 - Sort Order for Paragraphs, F8/F9 keyboard shortcuts

2009-01-21 Thread Martinek, Carla
One issue that came up during beta testing was the paragraph sort order. Some of you may have noticed that it changed in one of the FM8 patches. Many of us created templates that had style names in a particular order so that we could make easy use of keyboard shortcuts. Prior to FM8p277, these
