FrameMaker 11 Text Frame Bug

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Rebecca,

It's a good idea, but I can remove it with ExtendScript or FrameScript code.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Rick

 

have you tried removing the Tag value in the MIF file? I haven't got FM11 so
can't test this myself.

 

It'd be a seriously annoying workaround but better than no workaround at
all!

 

Cheers

Rebecca

I found an another annoying bug in FrameMaker 11. You can't remove the Tag
property from a text frame. To reproduce it, follow these steps:

1) Create a new Portrait document.
2) Choose View > Master Pages.
3) Use the TextFrame tool to draw out a small text frame on the master page.
When prompted, choose Template for Body Page Text Frame, and type in "B" for
the Flow Tag.
4) With the new text frame still selected, right+click on it and choose
Object Properties.
5) Delete the B from the Flow Tag text field and click Apply.

When you choose Object Properties again, you will see that the Flow Tag
remains. You can't delete it like you can in FrameMaker 10 and earlier
versions.

This is a big problem that needs to be fixed right away.
