Text Store (Freeware)

The Text Store plugin is a freeware authoring tool that allows users to insert character-formatted boilerplate text into their documents. The text is stored in a configuration file and can be re-used between FrameMaker sessions.

Features

  • From the Text Store dialog box you can add, remove, and modify boilerplate text entries of up to 255 characters in length. The text entries are stored in a configuration file in the /fminit/Plugins folder of your FrameMaker installation directory.
  • Once you have created your entries, you can choose the desired text from the scroll-list and insert it at the selection point into the document with input focus. You may also specify if the inserted text is highlighted after insertion.
  • You can apply a character format to the text insertion, or simply use the target paragraph / character format ('As Is'). When you switch input focus, the character format list is refreshed to accommodate any character-tag differences between documents.
  • This tool is particularly useful for users who want to insert common, yet unwieldy, boilerplate text entries into their documentation without exporting new variable definitions
