You would not need to get locks for any text insets. Just the main document (unless you are making changes to the text inset itself). With multiple writers it's good practice to use the exclusive lock feature of SVN with FrameMaker files. SVN can't merge FrameMaker's binary files and manually

We've called them a tree menu in the past. That gets 944000 hits on google. Seems to be a javascript term. Expanding menu is also a javascript term but looks like it's not for those +/- menus. Cheers, Rebecca Flato, Gillian [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/04/08 06:24 Does anyone know what to call the

Hi All, I have several unstructured templates in about 150 files. There are lots of different table formats, though many of them are similar. What I need to do is to narrow the usage and remove the unused table formats. Is there a method in Frame 8 or a plugin that will help? Any help is

tables

Hi Mollye, I have a FrameScript script that will rename table formats. So you could rename the formats that you are trying to eliminate to the ones you want to keep. When the script renames the formats, it will delete the old name from the table catalog. The script is controlled by a simple
