Hi, I wish to use fmbatch to alter my document properties before it is distributed. I would like to: 1. Turn off borders, grid lines, text symbols, rulers and change bars. 2. Set the View Scale to 100%. 3. Set to View Only mode. 4. Supress auto-updating of cross references. Unfortunatly, some of our documentation that is distributed is viewed in Frame Viewer (or Frame Spewer as we call it :), so it doesn't look very good if these things are left turned on. However, we have too many files to go and do this manually at the end of a project - plus, it's very error prone. I'm really trying to aviod converting to MIF, writing a script to alter these things, then converting back to FM, but i can't see anyways fmbatch can alter these properties. Thanks in advance for your help, Mike
