Grouping Definitions

[Diane Gaskill]

Exactly.  I mentioned that a little further down my message. Same with F8 for char tags.

>If you want to apply tags using the keyboard accelerators F8 and F9, give each tag a unique prefix such as b1 bullet1, b2 bullet 2, h1 head1, h2 head2, etc., then you can just hit F9 b1 ENTER to apply the first bullet tag to your paragraph. Use F8 for character tags.

>Hello Matt and welcome to the world of FM.

>As far as I know, FM cannot do this for you.  To group tags, you need to name them so that they fall into groups by themselves.  Here are some pretty standard examples:
>
>BodyText
>
>Bullet1 (the number referS to the level)
>Bullet2
>Bullet3
>
>Heading1
>Heading2
>Heading3
>Heading4
>Heading5
>
>Indent1 (matches the level of Bullet1, Numbered1, etc.)
>Indent2
>Indent3
>
>Numbered1 <n=1> starts a list
>Numbered2 <n+> (continued numbering)
>Numbereda <a=1>(2nd level, lettered list) Numberedb <a+>(2nd level, lettered list, continued) There are several ways to set up autonumbering, this is a simple method)
>
>TableBullet1
>TableBullet2
>TableHeading
>TableText
>TableTitle
>
>In addition, to facilitate keyboard shortcuts, you can add a prefix in front of the tag names, like this:
>
>bo Body
>b1 Bullet1
>h1 Heading1
>i1 Indent1
>n1 Numbered1
>n2 Numbered2
>na Numbereda
>nb Numberedb
>
>
>That way, you will neve have to scroll through even a small group of tags.
>You get the right one the first time. Note that you do not need to have a space between the prefix and the tag name.  You can also use underscores if you want to.  For example, b1 Bullet1, b1Bullet1, and b1_bullet1 all work the same way.
>
>To use the keyboard shortcut, Press F9, type the prefix, and press Enter.
>
>Organize your character tags the same way.  Press F8 by itself to set the default paragraph font.  Press F8, enter the char tag prefix, and then press Enter to use the shortcut.
>
>Name variable names and conditional text tags the same way.  You need to do a little planning to set this up, but in the long run it can save you a lot of time.
>
>Hope this helps.

>Hi, everyone,

>I am a newbie using FM 7.0. Does FM provide a way to group character definitions or paragraph styles. For example, in the Character Definition window, I'd like to place all size definitions in a "Size"
>folder and all color definitions in a "Color" folder, and I'd like those folders to appear in the Character Definition window selection pop-up.
>I'd like the same thing in the Paragraph Designer - all paragraph styles having to do with tables in a "Table" folder, all styles defining numbered, lettered, or bulleted lists in a "Lists" folder - and those folders to appear in the Paragraph Designer selection pop-up.
>
>Anyway to accomplish this in native FM, or perhaps a script? By the way, I'm the same Matt who won the LavaCon registration at the 2006 Austin Chautauqua.
