Hi Jeremy and Framers<br><br>Thanks for not chewing me up in my surmisings about the order of flows.<br><br>I seem to recall reading an article some years ago (around the FrameMaker 5 timeframe) that described the structure of a Frame document. If I recall correctly, it described the doc in terms of layers, where flows, text frames, anchored frames, etc. exist in separate layers, but the layers appear visually in the two (x and y) dimensions on a page.<br><br>Does anyone remember such a document? Maybe I dreamt it?<br><br>Roger<br><br>Roger Shuttleworth<br>Technical Documentation<br>AV-BASE Systems Inc.<br>1000 Air Ontario Drive, Suite 200<br>London, Ontario<br>N5V 3S4<br>Tel. 519 691-0919 ext. 330<br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; margin-right: 0px"><hr><b>From:</b> Jeremy H.

<br>
Interesting! Thanks for digging that out!<br>

<br>
You should be OK if you keep the same values, but swap <br>
them around. That is, don't make up new values; you <br>
are almost certain to duplicate a value used elsewhere.<br>
But if you keep the same set of values and just reorder<br>
them, you should be fine.<br>
<br>
That's something that could be done by a very simple <br>
plugin, or maybe just a FrameScript or ExtendScript. <br>
I'd write it myself as a freebie if I had time. Any <br>
other FDK folks out there who want to?<br>
