boilerplate text on reference pages
I currently have 4 types of notes (in tables) in my template: Note, Caution, Tip, and Development. I need to add a 5th that looks the same as the Development table, using the same icon, but with the text in the second column displaying Implementation rather than Development. I tried selecting the table and renaming it. Then I created a Paragraph tag that Inserts the Implementation text. The result is that I insert the table and the Development table appears. I select the second column and select the Implementation paragraph tag. If I click the icon itself, it still says Development. Obviously, this is a workaround rather than the correct solution. I know the answer lies in the reference page, but I can't figure this out. The reference pages contain lines with two frames side by side: one with the icon, the other with the text, such as Development: with room for the actual note. But I don't out how the two separate frames are connected. And I don't see anything in the Table Designer to assist me.

Re: boilerplate text on reference pages
AutoText is a plugin, not part of FM, so that's probably why it didn't come up
in FM help. See http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html

I’m not sure, I never used it.
I just searched the help for the topic and came up with
nothing.
I saw that the Development paragraph tag includes the text
Development:\ in the Numbering tab.
So in trying to create the Implementation table, I changed
this text.
Even though I created the new table style in the catalog.
Oh, I stumbled on the answer.
I forgot to update all.
Now when I insert more tables, at least the Implementation
text appears.
The icon text when you hover over it still says development,
unfortunately, but I think I can live with it unless someone has a clever
solution.
(I’m sure you do.)

RE: boilerplate text on reference pages
Our solution is a bit different. We ran into issues with using content from the reference pages, and found an alternative. We use AutoText from Silicon Prairie Software. I created a menu that allows us to insert pre-formatted tables, many already populated with standard phrases and text, for our various cautions and notes. Our table consists of two cells, the left one containing the appropriate icon and the right one containing the text. The table format is exactly the same for all of them, but the paragraph styles in each one change, as we use a para style with autonumbering to create the words Caution, Note, Important, etc. Those words are formatted in Arial Bold to make them stand out, and then the regular paratext style is Times New Roman. The icons are imported by reference. AutoText is $10 for a single seat, $100 for a site-license. For as much as we've made use of this tool, they could charge $100 a seat license and we'd gladly pay it! http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html -Carla - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.
