RE: Removing custom row heights

Re: Removing custom row heights
Yes, but this could take a long time if you have a lot of tables with a lot of rows. However, if you do the search and replace using a text editor that supports regular expressions (Notepad++, etc.) this could be a good solution. The regular _expression_ to search for would be "RowMinHeight [0-9]*.[0-9]*" (without the quotes) and replace with RowMinHeight 0.

FrameMaker seems to take things over from there using the current paragraph tag to set the height to the minimum without obscuring text. If all your custom settings are the same (for example: "1.56789") you can do a simple search and replace in the mif. Replace: with It looks to me like you could reset all tables by just removing the line from the mif. That would require a more sophisticated find value that used wildcards (or regexp) Try this on a copy of a file and see if that works for you.

RE: Removing custom row heights
I set the row heights to zero, which I believe is the default. FrameMaker seems to take things over from there using the current paragraph tag to set the height to the minimum without obscuring text. If all your custom settings are the same (for example: "1.56789") you can do a simple search and replace in the mif. Replace: with It looks to me like you could reset all tables by just removing the line from the mif. That would require a more sophisticated find value that used wildcards (or regexp) Try this on a copy of a file and see if that works for you.

Re: Removing custom row heights
Hi Pat... I doubt that there are any plugins available to do this. Your best bet would be to write an ExtendScript (or have one written) that processes all files in a book and all tables in each file. Shouldn't be too much effort.
