RE: Template Override Madness
You can try this. Save a copy of your file. Delete everything on the body page (Cntrl-A, then Delete) and then flip back to the master page. Then flip back to the body page and accept everything that is on the master page that is set to come through to the body page. Don't add anything else. Then put your live text back into the empty text boxes that have been brought to the body page from the master page from the copy you saved earlier. A lot of times the stuff that causes these messages are empty text lines where a person has the graphics text tool selected and then clicks onto the page but doesn't enter anything. This leaves an empty text line. Also, it sounds like your template has overrides, so that should be fixed in this way, too.

Re: Re: Template Override Madness
You're sure the overrides aren't on the master or reference pages? When I was cleaning up some legacy docs in FM10 recently, I found that any time a character tag was applied to a whole paragraph it would show up as an override. The only way I know to stop that is a kludge: add a space at the end of the paragraph and close the character tag before it. Alternatively, create additional paragraph tags.

RE: Template Override Madness
When FrameMaker complains about overrides in relation to master pages, it is not talking about character format or paragraph format overides. Instead, it is talking about page layout overrides, such as the number, dimensions, and/or position of text frames, room for sideheads, etc. -Fred Ridder > Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 15:24:32 -0500 > From: ma...@verizon.net > To: framers@lists.frameusers.com > Subject: Re: Re: Template Override Madness > > Further update: > > I downloaded, installed, and ran HuntOverrides and fixed all paragraph > overrides.

Re: Re: Template Override Madness
Further update: I downloaded, installed, and ran HuntOverrides and fixed all paragraph overrides. A very nice tool! (http://www.freeframers.org/freeware/cud/). However, it did not solve the problem. I suppose there must be other overrides, such as tweaked text frames, still in play. I don't know how to identify them, nor does creating a new document based on the template eliminate them. --Nancy ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
