plug in or script to manage text insets (unstructured)

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Hello Ann,

Thanks for the suggestion. The issue is that I don't want to copy graphics
and text insets, only the Frame files, and this copying is done outside of
FrameMaker. Graphics are stored in a central location so those paths don't
change. FrameMaker provides functionality to update graphic paths when it
can't find the sources, but it doesn't do that for text insets.

There is a plug-in that will do this for you, it is called "Archive" by
Bruce Foster. If you need to move a copy of your project to another location
it will copy graphic, Frame file, and text insets. It also goes through the
Frame documents and changes the pointers to the graphics and text inset so
that they are found when you open the document(s) in the new location.

Here is the like:

Hello,

 

I'm working on a project for a client where documents are created and
maintained using conditional text and text insets. When moving (copying)
files to a new location, text insets are not automatically recoverable like
image references.

 

Does anyone know about a plug in or an existing FrameScript script to manage
text insets, or for easy updating references to text inset sources?

 

Concerns FrameMaker 8 unstructured.
