Hi all...

I am facing difficulty in finding the "New Format" in Commands Pod in Paragraph Designer. It was easy to save my custom formats and apply the same in all my docs in FM 2015 Version. I updated to FM 2017 and I am finding it difficult to find the "New Format" in Commands. I recently updated to 2017 version. Also, I am not able to move the graphics tools horizontaly.  Please help.

Thank in advance

Bharath

    Hi Bharat,

    just type in the new paragraph style name in the paragraph designer style field. The "Update Style" button will magically turn into a "Create Style" button. That's it ;-)

    The graphic toolbar can be docked in only vertically. We will provide horizontal docking with Update 1 for FrameMaker 2017 which will be released very soon.

    Kind regards,

    Stefan Gentz

    Sorry, but I have to chime in and assert that it's not "magic" if users can't find it or figure it out. (And it should not need "training" either. Someone on the design/dev/management team thought this would be "cool," I'd guess, but at the cost of usability. And I'd assert that the latter should always trump the former.
