Stripping color definitions from .fm files
Like Niels said, save as MIF, open and save back as FM. Or if you have FrameScript, the ReplaceColors script will remove any unused colors in the doc. You can prevent this problem from arising in the first place by making sure your graphics use a 24- or 32-bit color depth, 16.7 million colors. It has been demonstrated that PNG files using a lower color depth, equipped with a color palette, add their color palette to the FM list of colors. Never use 2-, 8- or 16-bit color depth graphics in a Frame document and you'll be fine. --Doug On 3/21/06, Melanie Raney wrote: > Anybody know an easy and quick way to delete several color definitions > from a document at once?

Stripping color definitions from .fm files
Anybody know an easy and quick way to delete several color definitions from a document at once? When we paste something from sources such as web pages, pdfs, or other not-to-template docs into our .fm files, a bunch of non-standard color definitions are introduced (sometimes hundreds). These non-standard colors come before our standard colors alphabetically in the color palette list. To select one of our defined colors, we have to scroll for miles to get to ours in the list... annoying and time consuming. It would seem an easy solution to rename our color definitions to fall at the top of the list. But at this point, our template is set in stone, and we have hundreds of files using these color defs. Plus, I want to get rid of the undesired colors, so new writers don't feel tempted to select them... BTW, we're using FM 7.0p576.
