- Unless I've missed something from the manual as well, you're doing nothing
- wrong. Yes, there was a Menu Item and a keyboard shortcut in the FW 3.xx
- version and I find it VERY ANNOYING (listen Softwood!! :-), too, that there's
- nothing like it in FW 4.0.
- Anyway, there are 2 ways to make things easier:
-
- 1.) Define an attribute 'red' (or whatever) using the layout-menu item
- 'Define styles..' and use it from the button strip (read the manual
- for details)
- 2.) You can set up a new User-Command in the Button strip in FW 3.0 and
- save your configuration. You will be able to use the command in FW 4.0
- though there's NO way setting it up in FW 4.0. You'll get the same
- requester as in FW3.0 then, though there's NO way setting it up in FW 4.0
- (this is really strange...)
-
- Hope this helps...
