Extirpating more old stuff

[Ed Treijs <etreijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi;

Thanks for the reassurance and common-sense advice about the HTML mapping
tables--they're gone, and the item titles have been changed to an existing
character style.  The reason I'm being a fanatic about controlling fonts is
because of our long history of font problems.  I don't want ANY fonts in the
docs that haven't been placed there with forethought.

It seems that MIF show you much more about your docs than you would ever
really want to know!  The problem I am trying to resolve is that Frame
appears to remember the para tags you had in header and footer frames on
master pages, even after the frames have been removed!  How can these items
be removed?

For example, in the MIF, there is the following code which appears to be
associated with that master page; my comments are interpolated:

<TextFlow 
 <TFTag `A'>
 <TFAutoConnect Yes>
 <Notes 
 > # end of Notes
 <Para 
  <Unique 999864>
  <PgfTag `Body'>
  <ParaLine 
   <TextRectID 6>
  > # end of ParaLine
 > # end of Para
> # end of TextFlow

...This makes sense, since there is a single text frame on the page which is
part of Text Flow "A"....

<TextFlow 
 <Notes 
 > # end of Notes

....I guess Frame adds notes/info for each text flow???

 <Para 
  <Unique 998191>
  <Pgf 
   <PgfTag `Footer'>

....We have no frame for the footer, and no character tag "Footer" either.
There are no forgotten little text frames on the page that I can find.  What
is this???  (I found this in the MIF because the font is set as Times Roman,
a bit further along.)

Then, for the next master page, I see:

<TextFlow 
 <Notes 
 > # end of Notes
 <Para 
  <Unique 998194>
  <Pgf 
   <PgfTag `Header'>
  > # end of Pgf
  <ParaLine 
   <TextRectID 1>
  > # end of ParaLine
 > # end of Para
> # end of TextFlow
<TextFlow 
 <TFTag `A'>

The first part deals with headers--we don't have headers any more!  Then it
goes on to the main text flow "A".

So, does anyone know:

1)  Am I hallucinating?  (Shouldn't look at MIF, you'll go mad.)

2)  Is there any safe way to get rid of these funny fossils?

3)  Is there a guide to MIF format and/or Frame secrets somewhere?
