Join Garrick Chow for an in-depth discussion in this video Copy text to a blank document, part of FrameMaker 2015 Essential Training.
- [Voiceover] After creating a new blank FrameMaker document…you'll most likely next want to start adding your content,…and that content may already exist in other formats.…For example, you might want to add text that was entered…and saved into a word processing document,…and you obviously won't want to retype that text…manually into FrameMaker.…And there are a couple of different ways to get text…into your FrameMaker document.…We're going to use a file in your exercise files…folder called princess dresser.…It's a text file.…Now one option would be to open it up in it's…default application such as notepad,…copy that text and then paste it in.…Now depending on how your system is configured,…when you double-click this file, it may open…in the notepad text editor that's built into Windows.…
And it looks kind of like a mess of text right now,…but rest assured there are actual paragraph breaks…in this document and we can copy and paste…this text into FrameMaker.…But I'm going to close notepad, and I'm going to…right-click that file and choose Open with WordPad.…
