Can the Paragraph Catalog be printed or exported?

[RLEJ]

Is there a way to print or export the Paragraph Catalog of a FM document? My goal is to compare the list of tags available in one document to those of another.

Thanks so much for any insights.

No built-in function, but a framescript:

However, neither framescript nor this script are free, but both are definitely worth their price. I don't know if or when there will be an ExtendScript solution for FM10.

siliconprairiesoftware.com has inexpensive paragraph and character tools that do this.

http://cudspan.net/plugins/ has free plugins and a commercial powerhouse - templatemapper

Hey, thanks, Peter. I have downloaded a plug-in from the "cudspan" site. And I will where it goes from there. Take it easy.

In FM9 (and I presume FM10), you can choose File> Launch

RoboScreenCapture. Then use Capture> Window or Control.

Thanks, Mike. I never even thought of RoboCapture. I think these are FM9 and FM10 files I'm working with.

I would add that, if it's not just the Paragraph Catalog you want

listed, but a list of the items in the Paragraph Designer, then check

into the Format List plugin from Squidds:

<http://www.squidds.de/en/products/squidds-produkte/toolbox-for-framemaker.html>

Go to the link above and scroll down to the "Orderform US" link. It will

show a PDF that lets you order only the tools you need and not the whole

Toolbox.

Format List pumps all the data from the Paragraph and Character

Designers into a table that makes it really easy to compare your various

formats at a glance. There is a free trial.

I think that only appears if you've got TCS installed. But the general idea of using a screen capture is valid.

[Mike Wickham]

RoboScreenCapture is also part of FM9. No TCS necessary.

Thanks a LOT for the tip, Derek. The MIF+ Muncher turned out to be the ticket -- precisely producing the desired output!!
