Cutting and pasting FrameMaker tables into AE v5.4

Cutting and pasting FrameMaker tables into AE v5.4

Hi folks -



Has anyone tried the new feature of cutting and pasting FrameMaker
tables directly into AE v5.4? I'm stumped ...



I've tried .fm and .mif formats.

My pastesource is set to rtf,mif,htm,txt (the default).

I've tried plain old Ctrl-V, table with title, table with no title.

I've tried pasting where <table> is valid, and I've tried inserting
<table> and pasting inside that.



Then, I tried editing reference.dcf in our custom directory. I added:



<pasteoptions>

<pasteelement>

primary_division (I tried topic, section, and reference. Chapter wasn't
available.)

<pasteelement>

primary_division_title = title

<pasteelement>

primary_table_wrapper = table



(approximate)



and repeated most of my previous experiments.



What I get is either plain text or the basic table elements with no
contents.



Suggestions?



Thanks,

Margaret Devere

I think I saw the copy include the title and the paste be inside of a title
so maybe try inserting a table, positioning your cursor inside of the table
title, and then pasting.

Just a guess based on my recollection of the show and tell at PTC/User.
