Windows 7 and FM 9p255 marital problems and issues with selecting and saving files
Windows 7 with all relevant updates. 4 Gigabytes Ram 8 hard drives partitioned over 2 terrabytes I have been using FM since version 6 and earn my keep with this super program. However, I must agree with Norton which says FM is slightly unstable, few users. I have done all the normal checks, viz . Chkdsk c:/f on all drives sfc /scannow using elevated prompt full memory check saving files as .mif running FM without any other applications open or other files. Still, the program crashes perhaps three times a day It even crashes without any mouse or keyboard input. From the event viewer.

RE: FrameScript Run Error
Hi Anton, Here are a couple of things for you to check: 1) Check the C:\Programmi\ElmSoft\FrameScript5_70\Lib folder and make sure it contains DocUtils.fsl. 2) Choose FrameScript Options and click the Search Path tab. Make sure that C:\Programmi\ElmSoft\FrameScript5_70 is included in the list of directories. If it is not, click the Add button to add it. Click Save and try the script again.

R: FrameScript Run Error
Hi Rick, DocUtils.fsl is where it should be. In FrameScript Search Path I found the path to SysScripts and to SampleScripts. I added C:\Programmi\ElmSoft\FrameScript5_70 but it I got the same error. However your instructions put me on the right path. The missing path was the one including DocUtils.fsl. I added Lib folder path to the Search Path tab and it worked. Thank you!!

Re: Anchored Frame/Pagination bug?
On 10/01/2012 6:44 PM, Lynn Gold wrote: I'm using FrameMaker 10. In several chapters I have a Figure Title tag containing an Anchored Frame set to anchor Below the Current Line and Left. When the Anchored Frame is larger than the amount of space left on the page, instead of putting the frame below the text on the next page, FM 10 puts the Figure Title on one page and the Anchored Frame on the next page. Using Keep with next paragraph on the Figure Title paragraph has no effect; it still remains on the previous page. Have I found a bug, or is there something I need to be doing differently? I think you've found either a bug or deliberately changed behaviour that Adobe didn't tell us about. In FM 9, my tests show that the Widow/Orphan setting is respected, and so that number of lines is carried over a page break along with the anchored frame. You don't happen to have a forced return at the end of your Title pgf? That, plus a low W/Orphan setting might cause what you're seeing. A work-around (or what may be a better practice anyway) is to put the anchored frame in its own dedicated left-aligned pgf (at insertion point), then set your Title tag to Keep with Next Pgf. That method gives you much more control over spacing.

In FM 9, my tests show that the Widow/Orphan setting is respected, and so that number of lines is carried over a page break along with the anchored frame. You don't happen to have a forced return at the end of your Title pgf? That, plus a low W/Orphan setting might cause what you're seeing. A work-around (or what may be a better practice anyway) is to put the anchored frame in its own dedicated left-aligned pgf (at insertion point), then set your Title tag to Keep with Next Pgf. That method gives you much more control over spacing.

Re: Anchored Frame/Pagination bug?
Hello Lynn Just to clarify: You insert the Figure Title paragraph, then add the anchored frame to the end of it? And you obviously want the figure title (caption) to stay with the figure. I just tried this in FM9 p255, and it works fine. What I did was: 1. Fill a page with Body paragraphs down to near the bottom. 2. Add a FigureTitle para and an anchored frame set to Below. The FigureTitle para and the frame immediately jumped to the next page. Neither Body nor FigureTitle has any Keep with Next or Previous settings. If I delete successive Body paras previous to the FigureTitle, the FigureTitle and frame both remain on the next page until there is room for both on the first page. They are never separated. Perhaps others can confirm behaviour in FM9 and 10 in order to determine whether there is really a difference. One option for you would be to put the frame in its own (empty) paragraph format (for example, FigureAnchor), and set the frame to At Insertion Point. Then tweak the Keep with Next or Previous settings so that FigureTitle and FigureAnchor paras are kept together. I prefer this arrangement in any case (why, I ask myself...). Hope this helps.

I'm using FrameMaker 10. In several chapters I have a Figure Title tag containing an Anchored Frame set to anchor "Below the Current Line" and "Left." When the Anchored Frame is larger than the amount of space left on the page, instead of putting the frame below the text on the next page, FM 10 puts the Figure Title on one page and the Anchored Frame on the next page. Using "Keep with next paragraph" on the Figure Title paragraph has no effect; it still remains on the previous page. Have I found a bug, or is there something I need to be doing differently?
