Also: http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html Paragraph Tools and Character Tools will scrub those formats. http://www.systec-gmbh.com/en/sites/toolbox.php Systec Toolbox Download the program (it is FM-version-specific, so get the right one for your version of Frame), go through install procedure but do NOT select any of the modules to install. The free utilities will still install, which include the option to delete all UNUSED: -paragraph formats -character formats -user-defined variables -xref formats -table formats -color definitions
The paid modules have lots of neat options as well, but I haven't been able to purchase those yet. I beleive that Mif2Go, if you install it, gives you a free option to "wash via mif" your files, which may remove some stubborn color settings that refuse to be delete elsewise. (I've had docs that somehow have 100 definitions for the color black, which cannot be deleted by normal means. Saving as MIF is the ony way to purge them.) NOTE: CleanImport will delete ALL styles that you have in use, which is what some people need in some circumstances. I'm not sure if it leave the styles with the modified indicator (*stylename) so you can tell what they used to be, but be careful. Try it on a copy of your doc to make sure it does what you expect it to and want it to.
