ToolBox from Systec will delete unused variables. http://www.systec-gmbh.com/en/sites/toolbox.php
Download the installer, and then do not select any of the modules to install. What installs at that point is the "free" utilities, which include the option to delete unused: - Paragraph Formats - Character Formats - User-Defined Variables - Cross-Reference Formats - Table Formats - Color Definitions You can delete them one type of format at a time, or delete all unused of all formats. It's a very handy tool. The paid modules also have some very useful tools. Chris D. (CudSpan) also has a tool for deleting unused Conditional Text formats (PGF_Whopper). http://www.telecable.es/personales/cud/cssIndex.htm Chris -- if you're out there, can you contact me? I have a question/offer for you re: an update to PGF_Whopper. I sent you an email to your telecable.es email, but not sure if that's still active. If anyone else has Chris' email and it's different from the telecable.es one, can you ask him to contact me offlist? -Carla -----Original Message----- Subject: List of unused User Variables? Hi, FrameMaker 7.0 with Windows XP. Is it possible to know which already created User Variables are not used in a document, other than by trial and error method of deleting them?
