Book problems - Fm 8 p277 - XP

Hi, I have a series of 6 books of 6 documents each that use common documents (2). Each book has a generated TOC. These books crash FM and I don't know why. For example, I create the book, do the numbering, update it, can print it, save after each operation, and close it. And then I just open

To me, it sounds as if you're running out of memory/resources at the end of the string of operations, but you didn't provide your system specifics. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was some memory leakage going on. Also whether you're running other memory-hungry aps at the same time. I

I've noticed that the Paragraph Designer does stick, though where I've noticed it is when I try to call the Commands list. I click, and nothing happens. At some point the keyboard shortcuts quit working too, and eventually I shut down and restart, unless it crashes first. I'm running

I've seen that one too. I've also had repeated crashes when trying to delete variables from a Frame 7 template. It's done it several times. Prior to that, I can click on a variable name, but the confirmation dialog references a different one. I save a lot. Jenny On May 7, 2009, at 1:44
