We have been through the documentation with a fine-tooth comb, but the information is not in there. Yesterday I requested help on using the Alt key in keyboard shortcuts in ExtendScript. An Adobe engineer replied with a link to the FrameMaker 10 Scripting Guide. The information is not in the Scripting Guide, which is why I posted the question in the first place. I am surprised that the engineer did not know that the information is not in there.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Russ and I are long-time FrameMaker power users and programmers that read, search, and study any existing documentation before we ask questions. At the risk of sounding "thin-skinned", I find it frustrating and a bit condescending to receive links to documentation that we already know about.
