RE: FM, paste special text option
Note that the maker.ini change does *not* do what you actually asked about. The change does not change the order of items in the list in the Paste Special dialog. What it does change is the default behavior of the *regular* paste command (Ctrl+V or EditPaste). If you change the maker.ini priorities, it changes the decision tree that FrameMaker uses whenever you do a paste that uses the Windows clipboard--pasting content from another application into FrameMaker or between two separate instances of FrameMaker. If you usually need to paste as plain text, making the change in maker.ini is that you can accomplish this with the standard Paste command rather than having to use Paste Special with its extra keystrokes or extra mouse clicks. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

RE: paste special ...text option
It seems to work on both clipboards from tests I just performed here. Once installed, you get a system tray icon that is green in the center. Green means strip the formatting. If you click the icon once, the green turns to red, which means the HOVtext tool is disabled and the clipboard works as normal. Click again and it's back to green.

RE: paste special ...text option
Hi Pete: This may be adjusted in the maker.ini file within your FrameMaker install folder. The maker.ini is a text file so you can easily open it in a tool like Notepad and edit it. By moving TEXT to the start of the line: ClipboardFormatsPriorities=FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP, MIF, RTF, TEXT you are able to change Frame's behavior so that a regular Paste will paste as text and you don't have to do Paste Special. Good luck, Kay PS - backup your maker.ini file before making changes. .K.

Hi Peter, Easy. Open your maker.ini file with a text editor and change the order of the ClipboardFormatsPriorities formats.

RE: paste special ...text option
Sorry, Kay, but this useful trick (which was also suggested by Mark Southee, Rick Quatro, and Winifred Reng) is not going to do what Peter needs. Peter complains that Text is the *third* option in his Paste Special dialog, and that fact indicates that he is cutting (or copying) and pasting content from *within*FrameMaker*. If he were pasting content from an external application (e.g. MS Word) via the Windows clipboard, the Text option would be the more like the fifth or sixth item in the list. The problem is that the ClipboardFormatsPriorities item in maker.ini only affects pasting from the Windows clipboard. It does *not* affect the paste operation for content that is coming from a FrameMaker file. The only way to paste FrameMaker content as unformatted text is to use Paste Special. And that's why Peter wants to change the order of items in that dialog's list. Unfortunately, I don't believe that there is any way to alter that list, particularly since it is a context-sensitive list. The ClipboardFormatsPriorities parameter does not affect the order of items in the Paste Special dialog's list; it only affects the behavior of the standard paste command (e.g. Ctrl+P) so that you don't have to use Paste Special as often. It's also important to remember that maker.ini does not exist in the Mac version of FrameMaker, so that this ClipboardFormatsPriorities trick is useless on that platform. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
