I'm coming from a medical device background, where revisions of documents are quite different than modifications (hundreds, perhaps, between revisions, even if the revision releases are only one month apart). It nice to know when a document was released and not just when it was last touched.

I'd do it via a variable placed on the master page. Just import variables from a clean template (i.e. one that won't redefine other possibly used variables) across the range of files that need to be updated. Craig From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.fra

The kind of UI thing that bugs me is this: You have two documents tiled on the screen. You are in the left side document with your cursor in a paragraph that you want to retag. You slide your mouse over to the docked paragraph catalog (which is open on the right side of the screen) and click on

I agree with jowens. Also, be sure to apply the latest update after installation as there was an initial problem with printing to PDF. I work with both 10 and 11 and really appreciate the improvements in FM11. It's certainly not perfect, but it is better. Craig Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 09:16:23 -
