Center all Graphics in Book?

[JohnHuntington]

I have a 500 page book in unstructured frame maker, and I'm using EPUBFM2 to generate an e-version (I can't afford the whole technical communication suite). 

Is there an automated way to select every graphic in the book and change its format to center?  The epub is coming out OK now but I have a lot of graphics right and left justified.  I'm not going to hand tweak it, but if I could run an operation to center them all before exporting out I'd do it.

Thanks!

Hi John,

I suggest you use an object style (FrameMaker 11) to control the positioning, allowing you to control position of graphics via a template.

You can also look at ExtendScript and FrameScript options for converting your existing frames to a specific position. For more info see the Adobe Tech Comm blog, or contact Rick Quatro (frameexpert.com). My FM book (amazon, end of this month) will have an ExtendScript chapter written by Rick as well.

FWIW, Rick has a scripting webinar tomorrow...

Thanks, I'm in FM10 and wasn't really looking to upgrade at this time...  But I'll download the trial and check it out.

Then ExtendScript (free, and included with FM10) and FrameScript (about USD150) remain excellent choices.

I think Rick Quatro still has a FrameScript that will set global graphics

properties, including center.
