View ArticleRe: Adding Character Tag based on used Font Family
In my opinion, this is one of the most difficult aspects of scripting FrameMaker to understand: dealing with text items. But it is very powerful, because you can break down a paragraph by every single...

View ArticleRe: How can I catch a keyboard input and return another character to Framemaker?
Yes, I am sure about this. But what I will do before further handling is check if I need the pressed key and abort the script if it is not one of those I need for the issue at hand.
