[Framers] Deleting Colours

[Craig, Alison]

Looking at the Frame 12 MIF Reference, I guess what I want to delete are old System generated colors which are defined as "FrameMaker will automatically generate new colors when multiple tags are applied on text. The ColorTag tag that is generated is named with the "fm_gen_" prefix and appended with a system-generated integer."



As I have edited some conditions and deleted others, many of the System generated colors will no longer be in use.

No .. I'm pretty sure that the only way to know if it's "in use" is to scan the entire file for the ColorTag value.



The ColorIsReserved, means that it's "reserved" by FM (a core color, perhaps, which can't be deleted).



I'm just guessing though. The FDK reference may have more info. I can look later if someone else doesn't have more useful info.
