Time to start entering these. If you are unsure about whether FM has the feature yet, please do some research and figure it out before posting.

Please don't post requests for assistance in here, either.

Cheers,

Sean

Thanks to an off-forum reply from Thomas, I fixed it. Have to check each individual character.

Tim and Tom,

I couldn't get either method to delete individual change bars -- W2000, FM7.

Dunno--maybe Adobe's (and other tech companies) investment will help stabilize things? I do know we weren't supposed to export previous versions of FrameMaker. Now what? LOL!

Cheers,

Sean

After hearing the news this morning about the state of relations between India and Pakistan, I hope the Adobe Development group has good bomb shelters.

Horace - it's not exactly elegant, but you can select the text and manually turn off the change bar in the Character Designer, or, if you don't have any overrides, selecting Default Para Font.

Individual removal of change bars would be a nice touch.

> Individual removal of change bars would be a nice touch.

(Shortcuts below is for Windows)
1. Either select the text containing change bars, or use Find
(Ctrl+F) Character Format with dialog set to As Is (Shift+F8)
and only Change Bars turned on.
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+H. This toggles the change bar status.
Press twice if it doesn't work the first time, and hit
Ctrl+L if you're in a table.

Once you get the hang of it, it's a snap.
Remember that change bars is a character formatting property.

Can you use a text inset?

Otherwise, I use Funduc's Search and Replace (for other things, I'm never S&Ring a whole para).

Cheers,

A presumably simple FrameMaker-for-Windows feature that would be helpful to me today: The ability to Search-and-replace multiple lines of content.

It seems the search buffer and replace buffer are: (1) Not capable of searching past a line break; (2) Not capable of replacing multiple lines of text. I'd like very much to be able to replace up to 10 lines of existing content with up to 10 lines of new content in a single Search/Replace operation.

As it stands, I export my .fm chapter files to .mif, use some third-party tool to perform the replacment, then open the .mifs back into FrameMaker and re-save as .fm. Oof!

Re: equations -- They could add support for MathML, the Mathematical Markup Language, a seemingly logical extension to the other markup languages Frame supports. This would allow the import of MathType equations, because they support it.
