On my system, each of the updates appears as a separate item in the Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs listing, and I was able to successfully roll back (or at least it *seemed* to be completely successful...) from 277 to 273 by removing the "Adobe FrameMaker 8 p277 Patcher" item. -Fred Ridder

It just updated me to 266... It's because you were at 236, the one before 266. Since updates are sequential, and not cumulative, it chose the one for the level you were at, 236; it couldn't choose either of the later ones, because you weren't at the level they required yet. Likewise, when you were at 266, it could offer the one to 273, but not the last one, to 277. There are three FM8 patches shown at: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows 8.0.1 English, French, German; from 236 to 266 8.0.2 English, French, German; from 266 to 273 8.0.4 English, French, German, Japanese; from 273 to 277 The missing one, 8.0.3, had some nasty bugs and was replaced by 8.0.4, which I'm still not willing to install myself... ;-) One of 277's "features" is a change to the sort order of the formats in the catalogs that makes mincemeat of keyboard usage for applying formats (Ctrl-number-letters). The same "improvement" is in FM9, but thankfully there is a maker.ini setting to make it work the old (correct) way. With 277, you're stuck with it; you can't undo the patch unless you uninstall and reinstall from the original media. Be warned. HTH! -- Jeremy H.
