RE: remapping Frame formats
I won't do any clean-up work without my Silicon Prairie < http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com> plugins installed! David Creamer IDEAS Training http://www.IDEAStraining.com Adobe Certified Instructor for FrameMaker Frame Technologies Consultant, 1991-1995 *** I'm looking for a FrameMaker plugin or script to "remap" FrameMaker formats: character formats, paragraph formats, table formats, cross-reference formats... I have used TemplateMapper in 2003, but I was wondering whether something more recent is available somewhere, for example a (Frame)script which works as follows would be nice: 1. List all the used formats in column A in a separate "mapping table", for example an Excel file. 2. In column B, the user fills in the name of the formats to which the old formats should be renamed. 3. The user saves the "mapping file" and then "applies" this Excel file to one or more FrameMaker books. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: remapping Frame formats
Silicon Prairie's Paragraph Tools works pretty much like that, except the mapping table is in a FrameMaker file. http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Downloads.html On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 7:41 AM, Yves Barbion wrote: > Hi group > > I'm looking for a FrameMaker plugin or script to "remap" FrameMaker formats: > character formats, paragraph formats, table formats, cross-reference > formats... > > I have used TemplateMapper in 2003, but I was wondering whether something > more recent is available somewhere, for example a (Frame)script which works > as follows would be nice: > 1.

Rick...if you could do this in Extendscript, you'd have a sale. I'd even be OK with doing it one change at a time.

From: "Rick Quatro" To: "'Yves Barbion'" , Date: 05/26/2015 10:57 AM Subject:RE: remapping Frame formats Sent by:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com Hi Yves, I have my FindChangeFormatsBatch FrameScript script that has been out for awhile. Below is from the heading of the script. The cost is $80 and it requires FrameScript. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much. Rick This script changes cross-references, paragraphs, tables, user variables, characters, etc. from one format to another. You can optionally delete the old format from the document's catalog. The script requires a batch file containing four columns. Column 1 lists the type of format to find: X for cross-reference P for paragraph T for table V for variable C for character format CO for condition format MP for master page M for marker type CL for color RF for ruling format Column 2 lists the format to find, column 3 lists the format to change to, and column 4 contains a Y if you want to delete the old format from the document's catalog. If the format in column 3 does not exist in the document, the find format will be renamed to the change format. The enclosed FindChangeFormatBatch.fm can be used as a batch file. To simply delete a format from the catalog, put its format type in column one, its name in column 2, and a Y in column 4. Leave column 3 blank. Format names are case-sensitive. The script can be run on a single document, book, or folder (and subfolders). The results of the script are recorded in a log which is saved in the same folder as the book, document, or folder. It will have the same name as the book or document, but with a .log extension. If you run it on a folder, the log will be in that folder and be called FindChangeFormatsBatch.log.
