An observation: Frame Wizardry
Dear all, Recently i have discovered, that _opening_ a very rudimentary MIF file, such as the one hereafter, FM magically creates a nearly full document environment - only a text frame on the body page is missing. The open document displays a full set of catalogues, masterpage Right and even a Reference page with the 'standard' elements. Where does FM take these defintions from?

Re: An observation: Frame Wizardry
Hello Klaus, These definitions are not taken from the fminit/custom file; I guess the formats are stored internally (fallback catalogs). This happens only if the appropriate catalogs are not defined in the MIF file at all. If you add *empty* catalogs to your MIF snippet, they are kept empty: MIFFile 7.00 ColorCatalog PgfCatalog FontCatalog TblCatalog RulingCatalog Ruling MarkerTypeCatalog ConditionCatalog VariableFormats XRefFormats Page PageType ReferencePage Anyway, the standard colors, system variables and standard marker types cannot be removed. A document without a master page is not possible, too.
