2012-10-16 Thread Kapil Verma
Hello Framers, Hope you are well. I noticed that some users have reported their observations with slow performance when publishing to PDF with FrameMaker 11 as compared to the previous version of FrameMaker. I wanted to let you know that we have not found such issues when doing internal

Nope, defining my own colors isn't an option in this case. Working in Frame9, I'm importing (not by reference but by creating a copy) an Excel file containing Excel's red strikeout and green colors to distinguish new and deleted text, so all resulting text is formatted as an override to

I don't think this is what Carol was asking. Yes, you can/should define a new colour if you want something different from the default, as a couple have said. No, you cannot redefine the default colours and there is no reason to, because you can create new colours. I suggest you read up on
