MORE SPAM TO LIST MEMBERS
I don't mean to beat this to death, but I submitted my unsubscribe command and am just now getting time to accept the confirmation (which I will do after sending this message). But just a couple quick things. On January 1st, I changed email addresses, and I have been very careful about where I've posted that address. I have now gotten exactly >>two<< spam messages so far this year, and both are from this Indian Framemaker spammer. I responded each time and told him to unsubscribe me, but he continues to spam me, and many others on this list (who responded to me). If he is this unethical, he'll probably sell the addresses. I just started using Framemaker this year, and I have subscribed to exactly two online resources: this list, and Adobe's online forum. Adobe's forum hides email addresses, this list does not (nor should it). The most likely way this guy got my email, then, is from this list. I'm disappointed that the leadership of this list won't take action against this guy, so I'm sorry to go. Thanks to all for the excellent advice everyone gave me here, and sorry to have caused problems for anyone.

File Management Question
Another dumb question for the list :-) I have a book in Framemaker, with each chapter as a separate file. I've been rearranging things, and cutting chapters. Now, my data directory has a bunch of files that are no longer in the book. Is there some way (or an addon or anything) that will mark the "dead" files so I can move them to a separate directory (or any similar operation)? Thanks!

Another Stupid Framemaker Question
Ok, for those of you following along :-) I've now got my whole book imported, got the TOC generating, got each of the 50 chapters in a separate file, got "Volumes" set up to generate part numbering, etc. Now I'm starting to see global formatting things I want to do, but I'm a bit confused. For example, I'd ideally like to have the exact same Paragraph Formats across every document in the book. The only way I've figured out how to do this so far is to create the formats as I want them in one document, and then with the Book window selected, and all the chapter files highlighted, import those formats to all other documents. Is there an easier way to do this? Is there some way I could have one set of dynamic paragraph and character formats shared by the entire book? That way, if on Chapter 23 I decide I need a new character format I could go back into Chapter 2 and use it without importing, etc. Also, I'd like to change a Header format in one place and have it "update all" across the whole book, but that doesn't seem to work either :-( Thanks! John

Stupid Formatting Question

Did you rename the Word styles to match the Frame tags? > You might not be seeing overrides, but added styles/tags not in the catalog You were both on to something. I went through and changed the format overrides to new formats as suggested by Mr. Gold, but (thank you Microsoft) that came out with about 100 (literally) different "Normal" formats (Normal1, Normal2, etc), about 10 "Heading 11" formats, etc etc. So, I went back to the original Word document and Mr. Creamer was exactly right--the Word styles had a space in them. I tried to rename the Word styles, but whenever I would rename them, they would come out "Heading 1, Heading1". This reminded me why I had moved to Framemaker in the first place :-) I gave up on that approach and realized that while the imported formats like *Heading 1 and *Normal were indicated in the window whenever I selected that text, they did not show up in the Paragraph Format catalog, nor did they show up in any pull down lists. However, using the Global Update Options in the Paragraph Designer, I was able to manually type in the name of the Word format I wanted to replace into the "All Tagged:" box, replace all the "Normal" styles with the Body format (etc.) and that worked! Thanks to everyone, I'm sure I will have many more questions :-) John

Stupid Formatting Question
Given the high technical level of issues discussed on this list, I feel stupid asking this question, but I'm stuck so I'm going to ask anyway! :-) I'm new to Framemaker, and I have been learning it to create the third edition of my book. On the second edition, the publisher did all the production work, so I wrote the whole text (100,000 words) as a single, large Word document, using Word Tables, Heading markers, etc. I've imported that original document into Framemaker, and everything came in surprisingly well--tables came in in tact, headings came in etc. However, there is one problem--all the headings are coming in with an asterisk in front of them (*Heading1) which I guess means the paragraph format is overridden, and the overridden *Heading markers won't show up at all in the TOC. When I imported the document, I selected "Reformat Using Current Document's Formats" and selected "While Importing, Remove Other Format Overrides", but the overrides are still there. As a test, I went through and manually selected a couple headings to remove the format overrides, and with that everything showed up in the TOC properly, etc. But there are hundreds of heading markings throughout the book, and I really don't want to change them all manually. Is there a way to globally remove all the overrides, while leaving the heading markings intact? I searched the help file and the manual but couldn't figure out how to do this. Thanks! John
