Niels, Rick, Hedley,
thanks for your respective replies. The idea to update markers or
variables is interesting indeed.

Well, Hedley, it's
Can you explain what the problem is and why you think it is necessary to
write a plug-in to solve it? There are many ways to skin the FrameMaker
rabbit and there might be solution which can be implemented with FM's many
devious capabilities and existing plug-ins.

Hello,
I'm currently exploring the feasibility to modify/update what is
displayed in the running footer through an API client which reads
information from an initialization file, and updates the footer
accordingly, like this:
maker.ini
8<8<
. Might prove easier.
Best regards,
Niels

Hi Jakob,
Instead of adding text to the footer directly, you can add variables to the
footers. Then, use your API client to modify the variables' values.
You are right that text frames are graphics. The FDK has a function for
determining if a graphic is a text frame, etc. Header/Footer text
