[Framers] FrameScript to purge catalogs?

[Craig Ede]

Monique,

If you start with a template set for single sided pages, be sure to set the template for double-sided to delete the phantom master page that will exist on the other master page.

Also, you can use File > Utilities > Create and Apply formats to bring out hidden para and char formats that exist. If this creates a format in the para or char catalog you will have to look for where it exists and get rid of the place where it lives.

Ah, I was just about there, but had missed the Object Styles. (Well, I don't
have any, but I didn't even remember to look.)

An oddity I found that might help someone else: to get to the custom
"Running H/F <n>" variables, you have to be viewing the master pages.

I also found (by saving as MIF and opening the MIF in a text editor) that
there were entities for the PDF Job Options and for  several <BookComponent>
elements (a LOR, a lingering alphabetical list of the paragraphs that I'd
deleted via FrameMaker's GUI, a TOC). So I deleted them from the MIF and, in
FrameMaker, saved the MIF as the "template_empty" FM file to use as the
basis for "focused templates", such as for conditions and doc titles.

Thanks for confirming the list of objects to "clean",
