<font face="Verdana">Just to be clear .. I don't consider the
inability to have the changing of an attribute affect the
corresponding object property to be a bug (although it would be
nice if it did) .. but if you're not able to modify the default
value of an attribute/property by changing the underlying EDD or
r/w rules, that would be a bug. I though that you could do that
for image alignment, but can't check right now.<br>

<div>One of the advantages of using Fm to edit structure is that
many formatting attributes can be controlled via Fm's
interactive properties.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Attributes are typically mapped to Fm attributes via the
Read/Write rules in your structured application. To change that
behavior, you would change the files that make up the structured
application.<br>

<br>
I believe that FM's default DITA support doesn't
respond to editing the image attributes directly
(might work with some of them). Select the
anchored frame and choose Special > Anchored
Frame, then select the desired alignment. This
will set the frame alignment and *should* set the
alignment attribute as well. There are a number of
other properties/attributes that work this way as
well. In general, it's set up to use the "GUI"
property setting options rather than setting
things via attributes.<br>
<br>
You should be able set the default value in the
EDD and the r/w rules, and it should honor that
when inserting the image. If it doesn't, that's
definitely a bug.<br>
<br>
BTW .. DITA-FMx does these things properly. :o<br>

Nadine: I am using FM 11 (sorry I didn't specify
in my first post). Yes, I want to change the
default alignment of images. I did change the
default setting in the EDD and then import the
element definitions into my template. I know
that the EDD was imported because when I set
choices vs. string, I could see the choices in
the Attributes pod. What I'm asking is why
FrameMaker is ignoring the default of left that
I set and leaving it as <no value>, but
instead is making it center aligned when I save.
What's especially mysterious is that it actually
says at the bottom of the Attributes pod "align
Type: Optional Choice Default: left" but doesn't
use that default value.<br>
<br>
Scott: Thanks for your suggestion to "use the
default image properties dialog. Don't try
setting the element attribute." I happily
excused your unexpected brevity because you sent
your message from your phone. :) Perhaps
sometime when you are at your computer, could
you please elaborate on this? I can't find the
dialog you mentioned, and if this is actually a
bug that I can't set the element attribute using
my EDD, then I would like to report it. I have
read your response on the following Adobe forum
post:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a

target="_blank">http://forums.adobe.com/message/3681019</a>.
Like the original poster there, the Anchored
Frame dialog works properly for me. Manually
setting the attribute to left does what I would
expect as well. I have also ensured that I have
the following in my rules:<br>
<em>attribute "align" {</em>
<p><em> is fm attribute "align";</em></p>
<p><em> is fm property alignment;</em></p>
<p><em> value "left" is fm property value
align left;</em></p>
Like I said before, it's not critical or
anything, but it would be nice if we could set
the default alignment in the EDD and have FM
obey it.<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>
Heather<br>
<br>
PS - Please note that there is a delay of at
least 24 hours from the time I post to the time
my message appears on the list.<br>
