Yves I've found the simplest way is to export the EDD from the template. The elements are then listed in alphabetical order - no sections and no comments - so you can more easily locate the element. I've experienced the same results with Find as yourself. Best regards --Paul Wilbraham Paul

Hi Yves, I would suggest that you take a look at FrameSLT from West Street Consulting. It allows you to search a structured FrameMaker document using XPath. It has many other features as well, including a scripting environment for modifying elements and attributes. Also, it can be driven

We use one to make the page count even - adds or removes a Notes page before the back cover. I'm not sure if it can be modified to add more. I'll take a look later --- Peter On 2014-02-27 11:03, Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp wrote: Hi, anyone knows of an existing (extend)script or utility that

Hi Yves... This is a core FM bug, and seems to be very elusive. In general it seems like you can fix it by selecting the container block element (like the li), then click the li element in the Element Catalog and choose Change. In DITA-FMx 2.0 I've added an option which adds a pass to the

I have to convert a PDF to Word occasionally but I never convert with Acrobat. I use BCL easy Converter (I think it cost $20). The output to an RTF is way better than what I can get from a PDF to Word via Acrobat. But it's still not great. If the output was for my use, I'd have to protest
