31.2.7 Overriding fixed-key configuration settings
An override to a fixed-key configuration setting stays in effect until the end of the current FrameMaker file, or until changed again by another configuration marker or configuration-variable assignment to the same setting. You can override some (but not all) settings in the configuration sections listed in Table 31-2. For example, to switch mid-file to adjusting inter-paragraph spacing in Word:
![[spacer]](1p.gif){kind=small}
Only persistent overrides work for fixed-key settings; temporary overrides do not work. Also, persistent overrides work only for fixed-key settings that do not have to apply to an entire FrameMaker file. For instance, it would make no sense to try to change, in the middle of a file, the value of [FDK]ApplyTemplateFile; applying a conversion template is a one-time function that takes place before Mif2Go processes the file content. Other settings such as [WordOptions]SideHeads affect margins, and must apply to an entire file.
You can override a fixed-key setting with a configuration-variable assignment in a regular Mif2Go macro instead of in a marker. For example, suppose your document contains white text that you do not want to display in HTML output; so, in the configuration file you include the following setting:
But suppose your document also includes some white headings, in paragraph format Head1, that are displayed inside a black box provided in a Frame Below with negative space. You could use macros to override the HideWhiteText setting for these headings:
Head1=<$$[Options]HideWhiteText=0>
Head1=<$$[Options]HideWhiteText=1>
See §27.7.3 Surrounding or replacing text with code or macros.

* Some settings cannot be overridden in these sections; you might have to experiment. |
