Re: [Framers] Who's in charge?

You should set tab stops only in Paragraph Designer, right. FrameMaker 7.2 is in most ways as good as the latest release and in some ways better. If you want to use any special characters, you'll want to consult the FM7 "FrameMaker Character Sets" document:

Re: [Framers] Who's in charge?

Hello Z... Thanks for your warning about the Control-key functions. I assume though that it is still OK to access the paragraph and character designers with the Ctrl+D and the Ctrl+M keystrokes. Is that true or should I rely on the menus to open those designers? Dennis...

Re: [Framers] Who's in charge?

I think 7.2 is fine within itself. The UTF8 backsaving issue to 7.0 MIF starts with FM7.2 and affects all the newer versions (I believe) so that shouldn't cause you problems. (All this from my admittedly flawed memory. Others may want to correct this.) Craig

Re: [Framers] Who's in charge?

The differences between unstructured FrameMaker 6 and 7.2 were fairly minor. The main thing I recall was the addition of multi-level undo. The big changes were in FM8, which switched from proprietary character sets to Unicode, and FM9, which layered on the nonstandard UI (though as you drill down

Here's a squeaky-clean template you could look at, might help you understand how things are supposed to work. I cleared out all the cruft from the master and reference pages. Even the sample files Adobe distributes have a bunch of junk in them. http://lauriston.com/fm10_link_to_rh9.zip If files

Re: [Framers] Who's in charge?

You want to use defined formats for everything in FrameMaker and not format as you go. Starting with anything that has cruft in it is likely to give you remnants of formats that lie around on master pages, the various catalogs, etc. My take is that all beginning uses should design a template

Re: [Framers] Who's in charge?

I probably wouldn't create a Blue format. I'd name a format after a particular function and the color would be one of the attributes (e.g. the Link tag below). A template I created at one job in the FM7 era had only these character tags: - Default: Reverts the selected text to the default
