After installing the Technical Communicator Suite 4 on my system
(WinXP), I was dismayed (as many others have been) that our list of
paragraph tags are in a different order.



When our tags were initially set up, the colon (:) was used to set the
order of the most commonly used tags.



Example:

::Head L1

::Head L2

:Body L3

:Body L4

Anchor

(and so on...)



This order was reversed in Framemaker 9 putting the symbols at the
bottom of the list. 



The answer to this dilemma (for us anyway) was in the maker.ini file.



*Warning* Always make a backup copy before modifying settings in system
files!



Open the maker.ini file (usually found in the <drive>Program
Files\Adobe\<...>\Framemaker 9 directory)



SymbolSortingBeforeAlphaNumeric=off 



Change the 'off' to 'on' and save the file. Restart Framemaker and the
symbols are listed first again!
