Oh, bringing up the designer menus with control keys is perfectly fine!.
I meant it is just the "control-i" and "control-b" and "control-u" keys to

You should set tab stops only in Paragraph Designer, right.
FrameMaker 7.2 is in most ways as good as the latest release and in

Hello Z...
Thanks for your warning about the Control-key functions. I assume though
that it is still OK to access the paragraph and character designers with
the Ctrl+D and the Ctrl+M keystrokes. Is that true or should I rely on

responses I've received, especially considering my expertise at the time
of my first posting. I'm relearning the application, having once
produced a very nice User's Manual in or around 2007. It's been an
I believe 7.2 went to UTF 8 encoding which can cause some problems, especially
with backsaving.
A translation company I worked for ran into problems trying to save later files
back to 7.0 mif because certain characters (like bullets used in list, I see to
remember) would be messed up by that.
The differences between unstructured FrameMaker 6 and 7.2 were fairly
minor. The main thing I recall was the addition of multi-level undo.
The big changes were in FM8, which switched from proprietary character
sets to Unicode, and FM9, which layered on the nonstandard UI (though

All of my replies seem to get tagged with this too. :)
