Well, to make F8 and F9 work you have to keep the Character Designer resp. Paragraph Designer closed -- that is what you would recommend to authors, don't you?
With FM8.0p266 I found Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 to be working as expected, but to be able to use Ctrl+3 (Change Element) you need to have the Element window closed. Ctrl+4/5/6 are used to apply some/remove some/remove all conditions from a text, and they seem to be not affected, maybe because there is no non-modal associated window available. At least there are work-arounds... - Michael Am 02.12.2007 um 17:20 schrieb Alan Houser: > The FrameMaker 8 keyboard shortcut issue is particularly frustrating. > It's not just F9; it's all of the ctrl/F[0-9] shortcuts (element > operations, conditional text, variables, character and paragraph > formats).
