Well, I'm with you and your approach simply because it makes it much
easier to work on and to ensure consistency, because only the person
who created them knows what the override is supposed to do.

The only good argument I've seen for overrides as a normal way of
working is to control breaks across frames, columns, and pages, for a
particular round of publication. They can be removed in one operation
by importing a document's formats to itself, and choosing to remove
overrides. Before saving

The way I've been "brought up" as a Frame user was to avoid overrides
wherever possible. I'm now working with a writer who is much more
liberal about overrides than I am. We currently work only on
unstructured Frame documents; output is PDF (to print from or for use

I think the key to the question is why the other writer is using overrides. We
all know it's pretty much an article of faith that thou shalt not use overrides
for anything other than controlling page breaks, as Peter notes.
So why is the other writer overriding? I can think of three reasons for

Hi Framers,
I am trying to find a two-thirds fraction character/symbol for FrameMaker 8.
At the moment I am typing 2/3 but it looks yuk! I have nice fractions for ¼
(Alt+0188) and ½ (Alt+0189) but 2/3 escapes me. Can anyone help?
Thanks
