Ssme here. To me, it's not a welcome screen, it's a marketing ploy to advertise stuff, not far from SPAM (check the menu under Adobe), and it goes away only when I open an FM file. And when I close the file, the darn thing comes back again. Maybe it's okay for beginners who have no idea how to use FM, but how may beginners are there? The screen is not helpful to me at all. How do you turn it OFF? I do not see anything in the .ini file.
I also do not like the fact that FM9 opens a book file on the left side of the FM window and its huge and docked. The last thing I need is to have a book file take up 1/3 of the screen. It's also VERY annoying to have to shrink it and move it every time I open it. This is a total waste of my time. The book file needs to return to the screen in whatever size and position it is saved in, just like FM8 and previous versions. They have made FM considerably less productive by forcing somebody's idea of "pretty" on everyone.

I really like the new interface, even though it is different. I especially like the ability to customize it and save workspace versions. However, I've found the Welcome Screen to be *really* annoying. Usually, welcome screens disappear once an app is running, but this thing remains. I realize it offers some shortcuts (and a lot of Adobe marketing links), but I can get those from my menus, just like any other Adobe application. I wonder why Adobe did this with Framemaker, when none of their other applications behave this way. Does anyone else dislike the welcome screen? <mailto:susan.corco...@honeywell.com> Susan Corcoran Technical Writer III Honeywell Scanning & Mobility 700 Visions Drive PO Box 208 Skaneateles Falls, NY 13153-0208 Phone: 315.554.6178 <mailto:susan.corco...@honeywell.com> susan.corco...@honeywell.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as mike.feims...@acstechnologies.com.
