plugin for tracking text insets

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Joseph,

I don't know of a plugin that does this. I am surprised that you are not
interested in FrameScript. A FrameScript solution may be the best
opportunity for you to get the exact functionality that you want. For
example, I have written scripts that write FrameMaker data to Excel
spreadsheets for reports, etc. See

If you can clarify what you mean by step 5, I will be glad to give you a
quote for a script. Please let me know if you have any questions or
comments. Thank you very much.

Rick

Subject: plugin for tracking text insets

Hi all,

I have a master book that contains all the other books in my doc set I am
looking for a plugin to generate the following info:

1. identify all the text insets in every book. Generate a count of all the
insets.
2. create a list of insets, for each inset identify which book and FM file
the inset is in. Also provide the file path to the inset.
3. ability to screen out insets i don't want to see
4. ability to screen out duplicates. ie if "inset1" pops up in the book the
multiple times, i might only want to see it first the time.
5. ability to do 1-4 with conditional build expressions (minus providing the
file path.)
6. ability to do this with graphics.

Is there a plugin out there that does this? I am not interested in
framescript though. I just want to take a file, drop it into my plugin
folder, and start using it. Basically, I am looking for some robust
reporting capabilities that gives me an idea about what state my
documentation is in.

Thanks,
Joseph Lorenzini
