If Paste Special > (as) Text doesn't work, what I do for text with formatting I don't want to keep is to paste it into Notepad.

re: Unavailable fonts issue
Hi Isabelle, I recently made an amazing discovery regarding elusive, unavailable fonts: If you copy and paste non-Frame, non-HTML information into your (unstructured, 7.2) Frame document, the information is copied into a text frame. In my documents, and perhaps in yours, the font specified is Times New Roman, which isn't in my font repertoire. Hence the unavailable fonts. Of course we are supposed to import text from Word and the like, but sometimes I want to take a shortcut and paste in Word snippets to rewrite. More heinous, now that my Outlook has been updated to 2007, I find that text snippets from HTML (or even RTF) emails, which I often would copy and use verbatim, can no longer be pasted directly into Frame, but cause the same problem. The work around for the text snippets, to avoid those awful unavailable font popups, is to open an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver, paste to an HTML file, deselect and reselect the text, copy and paste into Frame. (I used to used Outlook 2003 to do this sometimes, but even this pleasure is now denied me.) The only work-around I've found to get rid of these unavailable fonts is to use the Remember Missing Font Names option under File>Preferences>General. You may have to save, close, reselect or deselect, then perform the procedure again a few times before the problem is solved.

Hi Isabelle, you can also try the following: 1. Save your FrameMaker file as MIF. 2. Open the MIF file in a plain text editor. 3. Find the missing font. Its definition will look like this: 4. Replace it with the definition of one of the fonts which are okay, for example: 5. Save and close your MIF file. 6. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker and check it. 7. If the MIF file is okay, save it as .fm again. 8. If necessary, import the paragraph or character formats from this file into the other FM files which have the same missing fonts. Good luck.

Others have made some useful suggestions for finding the offending font. But if you're sure the font isn't (and shouldn't be) in your docs, there's no need for lots of searching or MIF editing. Simply turn off Remember Missing Font Names (in File > Preferences). Then open each document (you'll see that unavailable fonts warning again), verify in the console window that only the font you want to expunge was missing, and save the document. That will make the font substitution noted in the console permanent. After you've opened and saved all the docs with the unavailable font, you may want to turn back on the Remember Missing Font Names option, especially if you exchange docs with others who have different fonts.

RE: Unavailable fonts issue
Also, font specifications can hide in tags for table items (title, heading cells, etc.) and in cross-reference formats that do not appear in the catalogs for paragraph or character tags.

Re: Unavailable fonts issue
Hi Isabelle, you can also try the following: 1. Save your FrameMaker file as MIF. 2. Open the MIF file in a plain text editor. 3. Find the missing font. Its definition will look like this: 4. Replace it with the definition of one of the fonts which are okay, for example: 5. Save and close your MIF file. 6. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker and check it. 7. If the MIF file is okay, save it as .fm again. 8. If necessary, import the paragraph or character formats from this file into the other FM files which have the same missing fonts. Good luck.

re: Unavailable fonts issue (Isabelle Lopez)
Have you already checked the reference pages and master pages? - Hi Framers, I'm sure this is a very novice question, but I need some help. I'm running Windows XP (SP2), using unstructured FrameMaker 7.2. Even though I've checked all the paragraph and character tags for stray fonts and have generated a list of fonts for each file, I get a "Document named xxx uses unavailable fonts..." message. The console displays a font that I know is nowhere in my documents, so how do I get rid of this pop-up? The more important issue is that because the documents are reformated on opening because of substitution of fonts, I get unresolved cross-references alerts on good refs every time I reopen saved files.

Unavailable fonts issue
Isabelle, The unavailable fonts message can be triggered by a font assigned to a tag you don't use. In that case, it's annoying, but not a problem. If you have already checked all the tags on the body pages and in the tag catalogs, display the master and reference pages and look there. Hope this helps.
