FM 7.2 error message: Nothing to copy
If you are annoyed by a message you get when you double-click on the scroll up arrow button, my best advise is to stop double-clicking on the scroll up arrow button. I have been using Framemaker for a dozen years and I am not aware of any documented function that uses that user input. What is it that you are attempting to accomplish by double-clicking on that button? -FR > From: vinokoor at gmail.com > Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:06:38 +0300 > Subject: FM 7.2 error message: Nothing to copy > To: framers at lists.frameusers.com > > Hi all, > I am constantly receiving the error message "Nothing to copy" when working > with files, both stand-alone and as part of a book (using FrameMaker 7.2). > > For example, when I place my cursor within a text field (i.e. it is > blinking) and I double-click the scroll up arrow, the message always > appears. > But, when I select some text (i.e. text is highlighted) and I double-click > the scroll up arrow, the message does NOT appear. > Go figure! > > I've looked for information about this error in the online help file, as > well as searched the FrameMaker Support Center, but haven't found anything. > > Can anyone help me?

Gil, The message means you have issued the copy command (Edit > Copy or Ctrl-c) when there is no selection. I have no idea why double clicking the scroll-up arrow invokes this command. You can confirm this is what is happening my selecting some text, double clicking the arrow, setting an insertion point somewhere else in the document, and pasting. The text that you had selected will have been pasted. You suggest that there are other operations you have performed that result in the same error message. Are you using a customized version of the FrameMaker user interface that may have erroneously mapped several shortcuts to the Copy command? --Lynne Lynne A. Price Text Structure Consulting, Inc.

FM 7.2 error message: Nothing to copy
Hi all, I am constantly receiving the error message "Nothing to copy" when working with files, both stand-alone and as part of a book (using FrameMaker 7.2). For example, when I place my cursor within a text field (i.e. it is blinking) and I double-click the scroll up arrow, the message always appears. But, when I select some text (i.e. text is highlighted) and I double-click the scroll up arrow, the message does NOT appear. Go figure! I've looked for information about this error in the online help file, as well as searched the FrameMaker Support Center, but haven't found anything. Can anyone help me? This message is appearing a lot and is very annoying! Thanks, Gil ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.
