Changing Initialization Files
Online manual
Additional settings
NetworkLock=On
• The NetworkLock setting causes FrameMaker to create a lock file (.lck) when you open a file. The lock file deters
others from opening the same file and changing its contents while you have it open. They can, however, open a
view-only copy of the file.
Keep this setting set to On if you’re sharing network files in a workgroup. If this setting is set to Off, it’s possible for
more than one person to open the same file and overwrite each other’s work.
SplashScreen=Off
BannerFont=Arial
• By default, a banner, called a splash screen or a banner screen, appears when you start. You can suppress it by
adding the SplashScreen setting to the [Preferences] section of the initialization file. You can also specify the
default font used in this screen by changing the BannerFont setting in the [Fonts] section.
CtrlAltG=Off/On
• For a number of European languages, the keyboards include an Alt Grave key for typing accented characters. This
setting specifies whether FrameMaker will consider the Ctrl-Alt-G key combination equivalent to the Alt Grave
key. The default is Off—FrameMaker does not consider Ctrl-Alt-G to be equivalent.
InputMethodAutoActivation=Off/On
• Typing text in Asian fonts is accomplished via a special input device. FrameMaker can recognize when you are
typing an an Asian font and invoke this device automaticaly. By default, this is set to On. If you set this to Off, you
must use the appropriate command to invoke the input device.
Folders and setup files
The [Directories] and [Files] settings in the initialization file specify the names and locations of certain folders and
files. This information is entered for you when you install. You should change the information if you rename or move
a folder or file, or if you’re working on a network and have made your own local copy of a setup file.
The locations in these settings are relative to install_dir. For any of the settings, you can use an absolute pathname
instead.
You may want to modify a file itself rather than its name or location, particularly the dictionaries or the custom
template. For information about changing templates and editing dictionary files, see the FrameMaker User Guide.

HelpDir=help
