Framemaker 7.1

I would like to save an anchored frame as a style or paragraph format or? so all frames are the same size. Alternately, I could select all frames, if there is a way, and change all their sizes at once if that is possible.

Do I have any options to do this?

Thanks.

One other possibility if you're so inclined would be to save the file as MIF and use a grep (search and replace scripting) tool to change the anchored frame(s) settings, by editing the following lines:

A freebie MIF tool to use for examining files is MIFBrowse, at

Hi Bob,

My WS Utilities plugin can do this (http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/WSC_Utils.htm). Disclaimer, this is not free software, but you can get a free trial.

Thanks for that Russ. I shall have to try it.

So, is there no built in capability for this?

Bob,

No, unfortunately, there really isn't anything even close, not even in structured Frame. I should note that there are other plugins as well. Two that come to mind are ImpGraph by Bruce Foster... I'm not real familiar with it but I think it does a similar function. If you are using structured Frame, Structure Snippets by Leximation could help with this. There is also one called AutoText by Silicon Prairie Software that might help as well. Google should find all of these easily. There might be more, but I don't think there are any that are free.
