There are definitely differences between Standard and High Quality Print options. For starters, Standard does NOT embed all fonts. If you use Distiller to check the settings of the .joboptions files, you'll see that Standard embeds most fonts, but NOT those that are commonly installed on comput

pears. My documents have only an A flow. I doubt the character format I'm looking for would be on a master page. Even if a style or two were in an unanchored box, for example, that doesn't explain all styles not being available or found. I'm sure this is a case of user error. What am I doing wrong?

While we're on the subject .. an unfortunate tag searching issue happens if your tag names contain hyphens, and you try to use the "Whole Word" option. FM will match on partial tag names where search string matches a hyphen-delimited "word" in your tag name. For example, if you have tags named

I just confirmed that "Consider Case" really is active in tag searches--peculiar but true. But since this is actually the case, you'd probably want to leave it OFF if you've got the kind of bad naming practices you mention. If you tell FrameMaker to consider case, then you'd have to do *separ

Thanks, Fred, maybe I was confusing format and tag. I guess I do want both overrides and tags, though--I can use Silicon Prairie's Character Tools to find both. As it happens, there are instances of bad practices like "Italic" and "italic", so case would be relevant in some instances. Thanks, Lin,

And as of Frame 10, you can also search for Character Format Override and Paragraph Format Override, so you don't even need to search for a specific tag. If you do search for a specific tag, remember that the first time you find it, you can reapply the tag to clear the override, then Copy Special
