Hello Rick, ... No, not with that FS version. ... Yes, you can create such a dialog box with FS3, but then you need to develop all underlying functions, too. ...
... Thanks, Klaus. Rick Q had contacted me earlier with the same suggestion. I played around with it a bit this afternoon, and it did exactly what she wanted. ...

I installed it and it works great! I had another problem (due to bad design): reading invalid xml poping up an error, this has been solved also :-) Thanx a...
Over time I've found that it's better not to use spaces in paragraph format names and my newer templates follow that convention. However, I have a couple of...

OK, I almost got this working. What I'm trying to do is strip out all of the spaces from paragraph style names in a document. I actually did have it working...
Hi Keith, I think this would be a better way to do it. Set vCurrentDoc = ActiveDoc; // First, do the paragraph formats. Loop ForEach(PgfFmt) In(vCurrentDoc)...

Hello Keith, ... With FS3, you could do it this way: Set vString = 'abc'; Set vString = eStr.ReplaceFirst{vString, vString[1], eStr.ToUpperCase{vString[1]}}; ...
Keith, ... there is no directly way to upper case the first character of a string, but you can use the following lines to do this Set sString = 'hello'; //...
The first thing to do is figure out how to split the string. Set sString = 'keith'; Get String FromString(sString) EndPos(1) NewVar(sFront); Get String...
