RE: Is there a way to paste text as default?

Hi Marta, In the maker.ini file change the order of formats for ClipboardFormatsPriorities, so that TEXT comes first. Newer FM versions have 2 maker.ini files, one in the Program Files folder and one in your personal folder. This change in the maker.ini file works only for text which you copied

I can verify this behavior. on FM7, fully patched, Win2K. My books are generally 15+ files. It has been a very costly bug for me. Now that I expect it to happen, I check the order of the files in FM before generating my final PDF to ensure that neither I nor my client has any nasty surprises.

drag and drop files to book

Hi all, acc. to the FrameMaker documentation it should be possible to drag files from a file manager window (such as Explorer or Finder) into the book window. I remember doing that often in the past, but somehow it doesn't work anymore. I',m using FM 7.2b128, Windows XP. It doesn't work in FM

Hi All, We have a library of a few dozen books (about 10,000 pages), and many of the files use the same graphics or composites built from shared graphics. We've run upon a challenge, though, in that things have gotten complex enough that we can't always use subfolders to group the graphics in

RE: Is there an easy way to manage graphics shared in many FM files?

This at least slightly tangential to your question, Rene, but I've found the Archive plug-in a wonderful tool in pulling graphics and insets in a book that are scattered hither and yon on the network into a single folder tied to that book. From there, you can move, copy, or reuse the graphics in a

We do have the Archive plugin (LOVE IT) and use it for creating a zip file that we put into our version control and release system. The one beef I have with it is that whatever date you do the archive becomes the date for all the files in the archived folder, so if I have several books with

RE: Is there an easy way to manage graphics shared in many FM files?

Hi, Rene, I would suggest the same-name issue could be overcome by establishing a naming convention that indicates the version or date of the graphic in the file name in cases where it's important that the file name be unique. Regarding the second point: Yes, you would create additional copies
