RE: Changing a whole lot of anchoring positions in FM 7.2
Hi Gerrit, You could use FrameScript to do this (http://www.framescript.com). If you need help with a script, please contact me offlist. Thank you very much. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. r...@frameexpert.com 585-659-8267 Subject: Changing a whole lot of anchoring positions in FM 7.2 Hello all, I'm currently converting three large books to a new template in Framemaker 7.2 to make them consistent with our parent company's documentation set. The biggest problem that I've run into is the anchoring position of the anchored frames used for screenshots and illustrations. Our old template required an anchoring position of At the Insertion Point with an alignment of Center, but the new template requires the anchoring position to be Below the Current Line with an alignment of Left. After converting the files to the new template using a FM plugin provided by our parent company, the old anchoring position remains and the graphics are overlapping with the text -- and these books are screenshot-heavy. Does anyone have any tips or know of any plugins that would allow me to update the anchoring positions en masse, or at least do it in a way that's easier than updating each anchored frame individually? Google hasn't been much help. BTW, all of this is being done in unstructured Framemaker using version 7.2.
