Re: [Framers] Search for text + tag?

As I saw the range of suggestions, I wondered if I'd oversimplified the issue by working from memory, since I haven't actually fired FM up for a few years. So, I invoked FM 9 on WinXP SP2 under Parallels on my early 2008 MacBookPro, to see what's what. Although your original statement of

Hi Karen... The only way I can think of to do this would be via scripting of some kind .. ExtendScript, FrameScript, or FDK (or Perl, Python, etc. on a MIF file). If you don't find a reasonable solution, my FM2DITA plugin may have an undocumented feature that could let you do this. If it's a
