To change the external application
used for editing, you can specify the name of that application with
the ExternalEditor parameter in the General section of the BookVars.INI file
at FrameMaker\Pubs-Tools\BookVars.INI.
(Note that this is not the BookVars file that
is associated with a book file, this is in the Pubs-Tools folder
in the main FrameMaker folder.)
The format for the main BookVars.INI file
is as follows:
[General]
TextEditorWidth=0
DefaultTextEditor=0
ExternalEditor=ApplicationName
These parameters have
the following meanings:
- TextEditorWidth
- Specifies that the internal editor be in its normal or expanded
width. (0=normal, 1=expanded)
- DefaultTextEditor
- Specifies the default Text Editor Type option to be selected
in the Generate BookVars File
dialog. (0=internal, 1=external)
- ExternalEditor
- Specifies the application path (possibly optional) and file
name of the executable file for the external text editor.
