Re: Porting DOS Text Files into FrameMaker

["Becky Swanson" <becky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can solve the spaces-vs-indent problem by setting the indent in the Body
paragraph, then searching for 5 spaces and replacing with an empty Change To
dialog box. That deletes the 5 hard spaces.

It may be, however, that the book publishers want the 5 keyed spaces in the file
for their own publishing solution, so go with whatever the publisher wants.

Well, I suppose you'd think I'd have learned to not jump into a thread without
understanding the original question first by now. Guess I haven't. ;-)

Looks like Becky had it right and I just put my foot  (Keyboard?) in my mouth.



But 5 spaces still makes me cringe. Define the indents properly in the
FrameMaker template and the paragraphs will not need to be manually indented in
any case.
