[Closed] FrameMaker 7.x/8 Feature Requests

Good tip. In all my years of this thing, I have never screwed around with that wee dialog to see what I could really do with it.

To Sean (and everyone else):

One of the features you're asking for, in an upcoming version of FM, is the ability to easily swap one paragraph style for another. There is a way to accomplish this in the present version, that I find rather easy:

1. 
   
2. Open the Paragraph Designer.
3. 
   
4. Set the drop-down menu Paragraph Tag to the style you want.
5. 
   
6. Press the drop-down menu Commands and select Global Update Options.
7. 
   
8. In the subwindow, select the radio button All Tagged.
9. 
   
10. From the drop-down menu, select the style you want to exchange.
11. 
    

Best regards,

Mikael

Thanks, Tim.

The ability to associate a conditional text tag with a paragraph tag. Perhaps a font tag also.

Horace -- Just press the left arrrow key and you're back.

When you move text to the following page, you are moving your point of insertion to the following page. It only makes sense that the focus is now on the page you moved the content to.

Or are you asking for something different?

Still not sure . . . in FrameMaker, the content flows . . . layout is important, to grab text on page 5 and put it on page 6 . . . leaves a vacuum on page 5 that is handled how? In development work, layout is unimportant, right?

For example, you are on page 5 and you have 10 steps. The steps are good but you want them on page 6. Why? Is there some content that needs to go before the ten steps? Then, add the content and the steps will end up on page 6 anyway and you won't need to move anywhere.

I guess I still miss the point . ...

Cheers,

Sean

Simple. I want to move some text from one page to the next. In development work, I do this all the time. I do Alt SBAS, and the text moves. But I have to go back to the previous page. Why can't I just stay there.

You mean like inserting a page break? Can you 'splain?

Cheers,

Sean

Add a feature to move text to the next page, but stay on the page you moved the text from.
