My document "properties" in template turns sideheads on for severalfiles where it is unwanted
By removing the ImportFormatsSpecial.dll and .ini from /fminit/Plugins directory I was able to duplicate the issue Verner had and that Richard's test confirmed. I then made two test files which I saved as MIF files: one importing Document Properties with FrameMaker's native import formats function; the other with Rick Quattro's ImportFormatSpecial plug-in, and then compared the resulting files. The native FrameMaker import function apparently has a bug that adds a tag to the # end of Notes Import Document Properties with native FrameMaker Import Formats function: # end of Notes Baruch Brodersen -Original Message- From: Combs, Richard [mailto:richard.co...@polycom.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 5:47 PM To: Baruch Brodersen; Andersen, Verner Engell VEA; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: My document "properties" in template turns sideheads on for severalfiles where it is unwanted Baruch Brodersen wrote: > My test showed no effect on column layout (i.e., sideheads) by importing > any > or all Document Properties formats. Importing Page Layouts however, did. Column layout and room for side heads are two different issues. I did some testing, too. I opened an index file, which has a two-column layout with no room for side heads. I selected File > Import > Formats. In the dialog, I made sure Document Properties was the only item selected, and then I imported from a chapter file, which has a one-column layout with room for side heads. The index file retained its two-column layout, but room for side heads became turned on. Interestingly, the master pages were unchanged -- their text frames still did not have room for side heads. But the main body flow did, confirming that room for side heads is a flow property, not a text frame property. I reverted to saved and repeated the experiment, this time importing only Page Layouts. Except for the first page (which uses a custom master page unique to my index files), the index file lost its two-column layout. But room for side heads did _not_ turn on. The default master pages were replaced by the single-column ones from the chapter file, and they had room for side heads turned on. But the main body flow did not. Richard Richard G.
