Color Definition in a FrameMaker Document Can't Be Deleted and Has a Strange Name

Issue

You cannot delete a color definition from an Adobe FrameMaker document. The color definition is unused and has a strange name; for example, it contains random numbers.

Solution

Delete the color definition from a MIF version of the document:

1. Open the document in FrameMaker.

2. Choose File > Save As, and choose MIF from the Save as Type pop-up menu. Click Save.

3. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker.

4. Choose View > Color > Definitions.

5. From the Name pop-up menu, choose the color definition. Click Delete.

6. Choose File > Save As, and save the document in Document (*.fm) format.

Additional Information

On occasion, a legacy document can obtain a color definition that can't be deleted when the document is in Document (*.fm) format. If you save the document in MIF, an ASCII file format, you can delete the color definition.
