Can I print out the document formatting information for review

Is there a way to print out, for example, all the paragraph format with their formatting details? I'd like the same for character formats, conditional text etc.?

I'm a long time FrameMaker use and have built numerous templates over the years. The one thing I always found missing was the ability to printout a list of the various formats so that you can review them (much more easily one at a time on screen) to make sure they all have the correct settings. MS Word, back in the DOS days, had this capability and it was fast and efficient way of double checking all the formatting.

Does this functionality exist in FrameMaker? Or are there any utilities out there that would do this?

Thanks,

Inge

Another set of utilities that list the catalog entries and their respective values are from Silicon Prairie Software (Silicon Prairie - FrameMaker Products) - see the Paragraph and Character Tools (note: they do more than just list the values!). The pricing is $10 per tool for most of them.

The Format List utility from Squidds does this really well. It creates

tables that contain the various formats and their settings. It's really

easy to look down a column and see which paragraph or character formats

use, for example, a particular font or space above setting. Format List

is one of the Finalyser utilities.

The Squidds website is notoriously user unfriendly, but here is a link

for the price lists page. If you can find the right list for your

FrameMaker version, it will give you prices for the complete Finalyser

or Toolbox utility set, and prices for the individual utilities. I

believe Format List is $49 USD.

It seems like someone else makes a utility that creates a separate

one-column table for each format. I can't seem to find that one. Perhaps

someone else remembers what it is. Separate tables are not nearly as

easy to use for comparison, though.
