When I copy text from, say, a heading, and past it into a Body paragraph, the
font formatting from the heading is copied along with the text.
Is there a hotkey to remove local formatting (overrides) or a way of avoiding
this?

Great reference! I found this book years ago on clearance for some ridiculously
low price at a Crown Books (like a small Borders or Barnes Noble) that was
going out of business. Out of an entire store full of throwaways, here was this
gem sitting there all by itself an an almost empty shelf.
The subject line says just what it is.

Hi all
I'm using Frame V7.1, working on a set of legacy documents that have come from
another machine in a different age.
Working within a book some of the files report missing fonts, an old chestnut I
know. I can live with the fact that it's substituting fonts but when I try to
make a PDF of
Your centering problem is easily solved by having a new style called "Bullet Number 10+" that you use for enumeration above 9, with slightly different tab stops than "Bullet Number". That's a bit of a hack in modern FM autonumbering strategies; but you're already using n=1 (rather than an
Excellent summary from Fred!I'll just add the (very minor) point that SVG graphics can have font information in them, too. If the font's glyphs used in the SVG's aren't embedded, that would trigger this FM error.

Hello,
I'm looking for someone to provide occasional help with structured
FrameMaker projects. The work is spotty, but when a project comes in,
it must be executed quickly. This is localization work, which
explains the spottiness of the work and the attention it demands.
The broad details:
I haven't done that sort of thing in some years, but it used to be

directories, all the files had to be open when you saved a book as

Also, the PDFs have to have the same relative directory relationship.

I have a list of 117 or so items that I get from a client as a single column
in an Excel spreadsheet. I need to take that list and convert it to three
balanced columns (maintaining the alpha sort) to paste into FM.
I did it once manually, but the list keeps changing, so
Maybe .fm files have to be in the directory containing the .book file
or a subdirectory of that directory?

One solution that I'm sure somebody will bring up is to edit the maker.ini file
to alter the ClipboardFormatsPriorities item to put UNICODE TEXT and/or TEXT at
the front of the list. That works beautifully when pasting content from an
external file/document via the Windows clipboard, but I
As is doesn't really *do* anything when you are applying conditions to
content.
It's really there as an indication that the selected text is not uniformly
conditionalized. Some of the selection may have a condition applied while some
of it is unconditional. Or there may be two (or more)
Interestingly, I had similar problems with FM 10 last night but not today. It
is fully patched and running on Windows 7 Ultimate (also up to date), 3.2 GHz
machine, 12 GB RAM, 1 terabyte of free space. I changed nothing, but got the
message saying that an appropriate printer could not be found.
Beautiful fonts!

In the threads, I saw no mention of the default printer selection.
Postscript printers usually have a font set loaded.
If you select this printer as your default, Windows finds the fonts on the
printer and allows use even though they are not on the computer.
But when you create a PDF, you MUST
To Art, Jack and all others,
First, many thanks for the suggestions, but as it turned out, it was the
smallest thing that tripped us up -- an illegal character in the FrameMaker
filename.
In this case, the guy who created the files -- and has worked with FM for some
years -- included a comma
Kevin,
Tom Aldous has a company that does just that. Contact him @
tom.ald...@acrolinx.com. Although he's working for Acrolinx right now, his wife
and daughter still run the Frame consultant company.

I'm going to respond to my own post. This took so long to get to the list,
that I asked Rick Quatro if he'd seen it (thinking I'd somehow missed it).
He'd not seen, but great guy that he is, he took a few minutes to discuss my
problem and came up with a simple solution that will work fine for my
stions is this; is there a way of telling Frame to make the font
substitution permanent once I?ve opened and resaved the files or is there
another solution that I?m not aware of?
