You can drag the Windows taskbar to a vertical position. I always use mine there, to recover vertical space in the window; I also use my Mac's Dock vertically, for the same reason. HTH Regards, Peter Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices

One caution: if FrameMaker is running when you edit the .INI file your changes will be lost when you exit Frame. FM loads the ini settings into memory on startup and rewrites the file on exit so that things like the last files opened list, customizable zoom percentages, locations of windows, etc., accurately reflect the last choices you made.

> Thanks for the suggestion. My system must have some > other problem, because the change made no difference: > the Marker dialog box still does not appear. Dennis, Windows has two versions of maker.ini: 1. There's a system-wide version in \Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker 7.x. 2. There is also a version in \Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\7.x. The first file contains default settings for all users. The second file (one for each user) stores defaults for each user, to allow custom settings. If you change settings from the defaults, such as moving a palette, the new setting is stored here, where it won't affect other users. User settings take precedence over system default settings. So you probably just made the Markers= change in the wrong file. For what it's worth, my original maker.ini (file #1) shows "Markers=0, 20" while the version in my user settings (file #2) shows "Markers=85, 177". The latter position is what I see on screen.

Special > Marker dialog box has disappeared
Here is another possible solution that doesn't require editing maker.ini. Open the marker dialog. Even though you can't see it, it's probably there. Press Alt+Space. This is a Windows shortcut that gives you keyboard control of windows and dialogs. Press "m" (for move). Either use the arrow keys to move the dialog or immediately click and drag. Don't move the mouse before clicking. By default, when you press "m", the mouse pointer is placed on the title bar of the active window, so you can drag even though you can't see the title bar. You can experiment with some of the dialog boxes that are visible, just to see how the procedure works. Good luck! Ian Mike Wickham wrote: >> Thanks for the suggestion.

You probably inadvertently moved it off-screen. Or maybe changed your display resolution to the same effect. To fix it, open maker.ini in a text editor. In the [DialogLayout] section, there is a line like this: Markers=997, 400 Your numbers are probably different (bigger). They specify the location on screen of the upper left corner of the dialog. I don't recall if it's horizontal, then vertical, or the other way around. Change them to something reasonable, like: Markers=200, 200 Save and close maker.ini, and start (or restart) FM. That should fix it. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

Special > Marker dialog box has disappeared
I am new to this list (I work at Symantec). Am looking for assistance with the following problem (on Frame 7.1, Windows XP): A couple week ago, my "Marker" dialog box suddenly disappeared. That is, when I click Special > Marker, the Marker dialog box does not appear. The other dialogs in the Special menu display correctly (Anchored Frame, Cross Reference, etc). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker, but the problem persists. Would be very thankful of any help or suggestions! -dennis Be a better Globetrotter.
