text
Editing Text
In this module you'll learn how to:
•
Find and change text.
•
Find and correct misspellings.
•
Use the thesaurus.
•
Insert and edit footnotes.
You can locate specific text quickly by searching for and finding it.
This is an excellent way to move around in your file. For example, if
you want to edit text in a section, find the section title.
You don't have to find just a single word. You can find a single
character (such as a letter or number) or any number of words and
characters separated by spaces. If you include spaces, FrameMaker
finds text with the same number of spaces in the same place.
In addition to finding words or letters, FrameMaker can find many
different things, including: character formats or tags, paragraph tags,
markers, cross-references, text insets, variables, anchored frames,
footnotes, tables and conditional text.
You can find and replace selected text with other text, change its
character format, or replace by pasting the contents of the Clipboard
into the file.
To find and change text:
1. From the Edit menu, choose Find/Change.
2. In the Find box, enter the characters you want to find. You can also
use the pull-down menu to choose formatting functions to find.
3. In the Replace box, enter the characters you want to replace. You
can also use the pull-down menu to change by pasting what is on
the clipboard or to change to a particular character format.
For more details, see “Finding and changing text” on page 17”

Editing Text
Using the
Spelling
Checker
When spell checking, FrameMaker compares the words in your file
with the words in its dictionaries. If FrameMaker finds a word that isn't
in a dictionary, it selects the word and suggests possible corrections.
You decide whether the word is an error, and if so, correct it.
If the word isn't an error, you can add the word to a dictionary so
FrameMaker won't question it again.
In addition to misspelled words, FrameMaker can check for several
other types of problems, including repeated words, extra spaces, and
incorrect quotation marks.
Figure 1: Sample Title
FrameMaker dictionaries
FrameMaker checks words against several dictionaries:
•
Main dictionaries—FrameMaker provides a main dictionary for
each language it supports. A main dictionary can't be modified.
•
Personal dictionary—You can add words to a personal dictionary
that influences the spell checking of all files you check. You can
create several personal dictionaries and change between them as
you like.
•
Document dictionary—You can also add words to a dictionary that
influences only the spell checking of the current file. This
document dictionary is saved with the file. Any words you add to
the document dictionary will not be queried the next time you spell
check the file.
Adding words to personal or document dictionaries
When FrameMaker questions a word you know is correct, you can add
the word to your personal or document dictionary so FrameMaker does
not question the word again
•
Adding a word to your personal dictionary
If FrameMaker questions a word that you're sure is correct in all
contexts, click on Learn to add the word to your personal dictionary.
FrameMaker won't question the word again in any file you check.
•
Adding a word to the document dictionary
If FrameMaker questions a word that is correct in the current file,
but may be an error in other files, click on Allow in Document to add
4
Spelling Checker options
the word to the document dictionary. FrameMaker no longer
questions the word in the current file, but will in other files you
check.
Spelling
Checker
options
To choose what FrameMaker questions, switch options on or off in the
Spelling Checker Options dialog box.
To use the Spelling Checker:
1. From the Edit menu, choose Spelling Checker.
2. Click on Start Checking.
FrameMaker displays any words it thinks is misspelled, and
suggests a correction.
3. Click on Correct if you want to make the correction. Otherwise,
type the correct word in the Correction box, or select the correct
word from in the scroll box.
Using the
Thesaurus
Use the Thesaurus to look up synonyms, related words, and antonyms
for a word. Synonyms have the same meaning, related words a similar
meaning, and antonyms the opposite meaning. You can replace the
word you looked up with any of the words displayed in the Thesaurus
window.
Some words have more than one meaning. For example, cover can be a
noun or a verb. In these cases, FrameMaker displays synonyms, related
words, and antonyms for each meaning.
FrameMaker keeps track of the last 10 words you looked up, so you can
quickly go back to a word you previously looked up.
To use the Thesaurus:
1. Select the word to be looked up.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Thesaurus.
3. Replace words in one of two ways:
4. Click on the synonym, related word, or antonym. FrameMaker
takes you to that word in the Thesaurus. Then click on Replace.
5. Hold down Control as you click on the synonym, related word, or
antonym (FrameMaker does not go to that word in the Thesaurus),
and then click on Replace.

Editing Text
Using
footnotes
A footnote is a comment or explanation at the bottom of a page. A
footnote reference in the main text is a number, letter, or special
character that refers the reader to a footnote. A separator (usually a
horizontal line) visually separates the footnote from the main text.
FrameMaker generates the identifying number, letter, or other character
for footnotes. As you add or delete footnotes, FrameMaker renumbers
any footnotes that follow.
Every FrameMaker file includes a group of footnote properties, which
specify such elements as numbering style and paragraph format. You
can change the footnote properties by choosing Footnote Properties
from the Document command in the Format menu.
A file may have a footnote separator stored on a reference page. To
change the footnote separator, go to the reference page and change the
graphic.
You can change the text of a footnote or delete a footnote any time.
To add a footnote:
1. Put the insertion mark where the reference number should appear.
2. From the Special menu, choose Footnote.
FrameMaker automatically numbers the footnote and puts the
insertion point in the footnote paragraph.
3. Type in the text for the footnote.
To delete a footnote:
1. Select the reference number, and delete it.

Looking at
paragraph
formats
Paragraph and
Character Formats
In this module you’ll learn how to:
•
Identify paragraph and character formats.
•
Apply paragraph and character formats to existing paragraphs.
•
Apply paragraph and character formats as you type.
•
Use the function keys to format characters.
A FrameMaker paragraph can be a body of text in the conventional
sense of the word paragraph, or it can be a title, an item in a numbered
or bulleted list, or data in a table cell. When Text Symbols is on, each
paragraph ends with a paragraph symbol (¶). This symbol does not
print.
When you put the insertion point in a paragraph, the paragraph tag
appears in the Tag area of the status bar in the bottom-left corner of the
document window.
Tag Area
Using the ¶
(Paragraph
Format)
Catalog
The ¶ Catalog
The ¶ Catalog contains the formatting information—such as alignment,
line spacing, and font—for each type of paragraph in a file. When you
open the ¶ Catalog, all the format names, or tags, are listed.
Applying a paragraph format
Put the insertion point in the paragraph and select a tag from the
¶ Catalog. The paragraph reflects the formatting information stored in
7
Paragraph and Character Formats
the Catalog. The paragraph’s tag changes to the tag from the Catalog
(such as 1Heading or Body).
Usually give paragraphs of the same type the same tag. This ensures
that all paragraphs of the same type have the same overall appearance.
If you change your mind about a property, you can make documentwide changes quickly.
For example, you can change the font size of all paragraphs tagged
1Heading while leaving all paragraphs tagged Body unaffected.
When you press Return at the end of a paragraph, FrameMaker
provides the format for the next paragraph. You can either continue
typing or apply a new format from the ¶ Catalog.
You can apply a format to selected text or you can apply the format
before typing the paragraph. You can either display the Catalog and
choose a format or use the keyboard to apply a format.
Applying paragraph formats from the keyboard
Use the keyboard to choose a format quickly without displaying the ¶
Catalog.
1. Put the insertion point in the paragraph to which you want to apply
the format, or select paragraph(s).
2. Press F9 or Control-9.
3. Start typing the format name until it appears in the Tag area.
You need to type only enough letters to uniquely identify the format.
For example, if the Catalog has only one format beginning with t (such
as Title), when you type t the word Title appears in the Tag area.
You can also use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to scroll through
the formats in the order they are listed in the Catalog.
1. Press Enter.
FrameMaker applies the format to the current paragraph (the one
containing the insertion point) or to the selected paragraphs.
8
Using the ƒ (Character Format) Catalog
If you decide not to apply the format, do not press Enter. Instead, press
Esc, click in the window, or move the pointer outside the window.
Using the ƒ
(Character
Format)
Catalog
Font family
A font is the complete set of characters for a single typeface at a single
size. Each font has:
•
A font family (such as Times® or Helvetica®)
•
A font size (such as 10 points)
•
Font properties (such as italic, bold, and/or spot color)
When you begin typing a paragraph, the font in which text appears is
determined by the paragraph’s default font setting.
If you move the insertion point, the font changes if necessary to match
the surrounding text. For example, if you move the insertion point
between two italicized words, anything you type between those words
will be in italics too.
The ƒ Catalog
To override a paragraph’s default font for a specific word or phrase, use
formats stored in the ƒ Catalog. For example, you might make a new
term bold if readers are seeing it for the first time, italicize a word to
emphasize it, or underline a phrase to set it apart.
Applying a character format
When you apply a format from the ƒ Catalog to selected text,
FrameMaker formats the text according to information stored in the
Catalog. The name, or character tag, of the text changes to the format
name from the Catalog (such as Emphasis).
You should normally give all text of the same type the same character
tag. This ensures that all text of one type has the same font.
If you change your mind about using a font for a type of text, you can
make document-wide changes quickly. For example, you can change
your method of emphasizing text from italics to bold for all text tagged
9
Paragraph and Character Formats
Emphasis by redefining the Emphasis character format and updating all
the characters tagged Emphasis.
You can use the Catalog to apply a format to text you’ll type at the
insertion point or to selected text.
You can apply a format before or after you type the text. Use the ƒ
Catalog in the same way you use the ¶ Catalog: either display the
Catalog and choose a format or use the keyboard to apply a format.
To display the ƒ Catalog, click the ƒ Catalog button at the top-right of
the document window.
ƒ Catalog button
You can move the ƒ Catalog as you would a FrameMaker document
window. You can also resize the Catalog to display all of the formats.
Applying character formats with the keyboard
You can use the keyboard to apply a format quickly, without displaying
the ƒ Catalog.
1. Select text whose format you want to change or put the insertion
point where you’ll type text in the new format.
2. Press F8 or Control-8.
3. Start typing the format name until it appears in the Tag area.
You need to type only enough letters to uniquely identify the format.
For example, if the Catalog has only one format beginning with e (such
as Emphasis), when you type e the word Emphasis appears in the Tag
area.
10
Making simple character format changes
You can also use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to scroll through
the formats in the order they are listed in the Catalog.
1. Press Enter.
FrameMaker applies the format to the selected text or to text you type
until you choose a different format, move the insertion point, or press
Enter.
If you decide not to apply the format, do not press Enter. Instead, press
Esc, click in the window, or move the pointer outside the window.
Making
simple
character
format
changes
You can also use the keyboard for simple font changes that are not from
the ƒ Catalog.
This method doesn’t let you make document-wide changes, and
inconsistencies in the use of fonts are possible, particularly in long
documents or among documents. To make more extensive changes to a
font and to ensure that you’re using fonts consistently, use a format
from the ƒ Catalog.
To change a font before you type, place the insertion point, press one of
the following key sequences, and type the text. To change a font after
you type, select the text and press one of these key sequences. (These
key sequences toggle the font property, so if you press the key a second
time you turn off the property.)

Adding tab
stops
Using Tabs
In this module you’ll learn how to:
•
Insert and move tab stops in the ruler.
•
Insert, move, change, and apply tab stops in the Paragraph
Designer.
•
Specify tab leaders.
Use tab stops to create numbered and bulleted lists, outlines, and
similar material that must be aligned at specific places.
Before inserting a tab in text, you need to define a tab stop. Then when
you press the Tab key, FrameMaker moves the text to the desired
location.
You can add a new tab stop with the mouse or by typing a value in the
Paragraph Designer. When the rulers are on, you can use the mouse to
add a tab stop. The tab stop has the alignment, leader, and decimal
character currently set in the Tabs properties of the Paragraph Designer.
In the ruler, FrameMaker uses a different symbol for each type of tab
stop.
Left tab stop
Right tab stop
Center tab stop
Decimal tab stop
The properties for tabs are displayed in the Basic properties in the
Paragraph Designer.
Values displayed in the Tab Stops list box and in the Position text box
in the Paragraph Designer are calculated from the left edge of the text
frame; values on the ruler are calculated from the left edge of the page.
Adding a tab stop using the mouse
1. If you want the tab stop to snap to the nearest ruler marking, turn on
Snap (on the Graphics menu).
13
Using Tabs
2. Put the insertion point in a paragraph.
3. In the formatting bar, select the type of tab you want to add.
4. On a UNIX workstation, drag the tab to the position you want on
the ruler.
5. On the PC or Macintosh, point in the area below the top ruler so the
tip of the pointer is at the location for the tab stop and click the left
mouse button.
FrameMaker places a tab stop symbol where you clicked.
In the Paragraph Designer, FrameMaker adds the tab to the Tab
Stops list box.
6. To apply the tab to other paragraphs with the same format or to the
¶ Catalog, click on Update All in the Paragraph Designer.
If you don’t apply the change in the Paragraph Designer, the new tab
stop is added only to the current paragraph.
Adding a tab stop using the Paragraph Designer
1. Put the insertion point in a paragraph.
2. Open the Paragraph Designer and go to the Basic properties.
3. Click on New Tab Stop in the scroll list.
4. Click on Edit.
The Edit Tab Stop window is displayed.
5. Select the properties for the tab and then click on Continue.
6. Click on Update All.
Modifying

You can use align text four different ways as shown below:
Montibus
Quod
Montibus
Quod
Montibus
Quod
Center-aligned
text
48.53
6.21
257.97
Decimal-aligned
text
To select a tab’s alignment, choose one of the settings in the Alignment
area of the Edit Tab Stop window.
FrameMaker shows the type of alignment (L for Left, C for Center, and
so on) next to the tab position in the Tab Stops list box.
Adding leaders
You can include a leader, or string of characters, to fill the space
between the tab and the character following it. Typically a leader is a
period, but you can use any character, such as an underscore (to create a
15
Using Tabs
solid line), a hyphen, or an asterisk. A leader can have more than one
character and can use spaces.
Montibus.................................................. 43.53
Quod.......................................................... 6.21
der
To include a leader, select one of the options in the Leader area of the
Edit Tab Stop window, or type special characters in the Custom text
box.
FrameMaker shows the leader character with the tab position in the Tab
Stops list box.
Changing the decimal character
When using a decimal tab stop, FrameMaker aligns the tabbed text on
the decimal character. You can set the decimal character to whatever
you want—for example, a comma if you are using the European style
of decimals.
To change the decimal character, type the character in the Align On text
box.
FrameMaker shows the decimal character with the tab position in the
Tab Stops list box.

Editing Text
In this module you’ll learn how to:
•
Find and change text.
•
Find and correct misspellings.
•
Use the thesaurus.
•
Insert and edit footnotes.
You can locate specific text quickly by searching for and finding it.
This is an excellent way to move around in your file. For example, if
you want to edit text in a section, find the section title.
You don’t have to find just a single word. You can find a single
character (such as a letter or number) or any number of words and
characters separated by spaces. If you include spaces, FrameMaker
finds text with the same number of spaces in the same place.
In addition to finding words or letters, FrameMaker can find 21
different things, including: character formats or tags, paragraph tags,
markers, cross-references, text insets, variables, anchored frames,
footnotes, tables and conditional text.
You can find and replace selected text with other text, change its
character format, or replace by pasting the contents of the Clipboard
into the file.
To find and change text:
From the Edit menu, choose Find/Change.
In the Find box, enter the characters you want to find. You can also use
the pull-down menu to choose formatting functions to find.
In the Replace box, enter the characters you want to replace. You can
also use the pull-down menu to change by pasting what is on the
clipboard or to change to a particular character format.
For more details, see Chapter 8 of "Using FrameMaker."

Editing Text
Using the
Spelling
Checker
When spell checking, FrameMaker compares the words in your file
with the words in its dictionaries. If FrameMaker finds a word that isn’t
in a dictionary, it selects the word and suggests possible corrections.
You decide whether the word is an error, and if so, correct it.
If the word isn’t an error, you can add the word to a dictionary so
FrameMaker won’t question it again.
In addition to misspelled words, FrameMaker can check for several
other types of problems, including repeated words, extra spaces, and
incorrect quotation marks.
FrameMaker dictionaries
FrameMaker checks words against several dictionaries:
•
Main dictionaries—FrameMaker provides a main dictionary for
each language it supports. A main dictionary can't be modified.
•
Personal dictionary—You can add words to a personal dictionary
that influences the spell checking of all files you check. You can
create several personal dictionaries and change between them as
you like.
•
Document dictionary—You can also add words to a dictionary that
influences only the spell checking of the current file. This
document dictionary is saved with the file. Any words you add to
the document dictionary will not be queried the next time you spell
check the file.
Adding words to personal or document dictionaries
When FrameMaker questions a word you know is correct, you can add
the word to your personal or document dictionary so FrameMaker does
not question the word again
•
Adding a word to your personal dictionary
If FrameMaker questions a word that you're sure is correct in all
contexts, click on Learn to add the word to your personal dictionary.
FrameMaker won't question the word again in any file you check.
•
Adding a word to the document dictionary
If FrameMaker questions a word that is correct in the current file,
but may be an error in other files, click on Allow in Document to add
the word to the document dictionary. FrameMaker no longer

Spelling
Checker
options
To choose what FrameMaker questions, switch options on or off in the
Spelling Checker Options dialog box.
To use the Spelling Checker:
1. From the Edit menu, choose Spelling Checker.
2. Click on Start Checking.
FrameMaker displays any words it thinks is misspelled, and
suggests a correction.
3. Click on Correct if you want to make the correction. Otherwise,
type the correct word in the Correction box, or select the correct
word from in the scroll box.
Using the
Thesaurus
Use the Thesaurus to look up synonyms, related words, and antonyms
for a word. Synonyms have the same meaning, related words a similar
meaning, and antonyms the opposite meaning. You can replace the
word you looked up with any of the words displayed in the Thesaurus
window.
Some words have more than one meaning. For example, cover can be a
noun or a verb. In these cases, FrameMaker displays synonyms, related
words, and antonyms for each meaning.
FrameMaker keeps track of the last 10 words you looked up, so you can
quickly go back to a word you previously looked up.
To use the Thesaurus:
1. Select the word to be looked up.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Thesaurus.
3. Replace words in one of two ways:
4. Click on the synonym, related word, or antonym. FrameMaker
takes you to that word in the Thesaurus. Then click on Replace.

footnotes
A footnote is a comment or explanation at the bottom of a page. A
footnote reference in the main text is a number, letter, or special
character that refers the reader to a footnote. A separator (usually a
horizontal line) visually separates the footnote from the main text.
FrameMaker generates the identifying number, letter, or other character
for footnotes. As you add or delete footnotes, FrameMaker renumbers
any footnotes that follow.
Every FrameMaker file includes a group of footnote properties, which
specify such elements as numbering style and paragraph format. You
can change the footnote properties by choosing Footnote Properties
from the Document command in the Format menu.
A file may have a footnote separator stored on a reference page. To
change the footnote separator, go to the reference page and change the
graphic.
You can change the text of a footnote or delete a footnote any time.
To add a footnote:
1. Put the insertion mark where the reference number should appear.
2. From the Special menu, choose Footnote.
FrameMaker automatically numbers the footnote and puts the
insertion point in the footnote paragraph.
3. Type in the text for the footnote.
To delete a footnote:
1. Select the reference number, and delete it.
