Hi, Donald: As you probably know, nothing on the Internet ever dies, and this includes the WordStar keystroke habits embedded in the cultural unconscious of many among us.
FrameMaker keystroke shortcuts are not the same as WS, though some of Windows are quite similar. Instead of ^S ^D ^E and ^X for character left, right, and line up, down, arrow keys do it. Look up keystrokes in FM help, and framemaker keystrokes and framemaker keystroke shortcuts on Google to find some charts and listings of some of the many things that you can do in FM without a mouse. Also, open a copy of the command text files in the configui folder under your FM installation directory, to see listings of the many commands and their keystrokes built into FM. Read about how to create your own, as well as customizing menus, in the PDF Customizing Framemaker, also under the FM installation directory. To truly mimic WS commands, search for a third-party keystroke macro recorder. HTH ________________ Regards, Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 1:08 PM, Donlad W.
