Adobe FrameMaker 9: Apply vs Update All

by Barb Binder

Oh, the confusion caused by these two little buttons! Take this short quiz to test your knowledge of when to use one over the other.

1. You want to change all the Body paragraphs in your document to Minion Pro 10/12 in the Paragraph Designer. You make the changes and click:
   a.) Update All
   b.) Apply
2. You want to assign the Heading2 tag to a Body paragraph via Paragraph Designer. You pick it from the Paragraph Tag list and click:
   a.) Update All
   b.) Apply
3. You want to rename all paragraphs tagged Title to ChapterTitle, so you type over the name in Paragraph Designer and click:
   a.) Update All
   b.) Apply
4. You only want to remove the first line indent on the very first Body paragraph, so you make the change in Paragraph Designer and click:
   a.) Update All
   b.) Apply
5. You change the alignment of a paragraph to center via the Paragraph Formatting toolbar. That is equivalent to clicking:
   a.) Update All
   b.) Apply

How did you do? I’d love to hear.

Answers: 1. a; 2. b; 3. a; 4. b; 5. b
