Completely off-topic, but - I didn't know about double-clicking to select a 
word and triple-clicking to select a paragraph.  However (without Frame running 
at the moment, as it's bedtime here!) I tried it in my email client (Eudora 7). 
 It works here, exactly like that.  Well, now I've learnt something else!

FrameMaker double-click oddity

[Steve Rickaby]

I'm seeing something odd when I work on FrameMaker files here which I don't see 
in a new FrameMaker document, to do with selection of text by clicking. These 
files come from a specific template that originated at another company based in 
India as far as I know. 

The default behaviour in FrameMaker is that double-clicking selects a word and 
triple-clicking selects a paragraph, as we all know. In these files:

. double-clicking does nothing

. triple-clicking selects a word

. quad-clicking selects a word as well

. five clicks are required to select a paragraph

Is there anything that could explain this? It all seems a bit sluggish, too, 
despite the fact that the files aren't excessively large.

I tried MIFing the files, and this odd problem goes away, as does the 
sluggishness. As a wise friend is wont to write, 'Go figure' ;-)

Saving as a MIF cleans out any stray characters that may show up if
content was imported from Word or another word processor... or
possibly a version of FM with a higher rev number than yours (maybe
references to Unicode, for instance).

Because it does fix the problem, I'd suspect that there are hidden
characters in the incoming files.
