RE: Structure View Won't Appear
I had this problem a week or so ago. There is a Windows settings that forces all windows to show up on the visible part of the screen. I don't remember where or what it is, but I found it in windows Help (imagine that!).

RE: Structure View Won't Appear
You can use Windows keyboard commands to locate most boxes and applications when they are 'off screen'. This often happens when you use a laptop with a 2nd monitor at the base, and then undock it for a presentation or other portable use. This stuff you want is on the 'other monitor'. For most items, use the following: Make the item active (click the icon, etc.) Ctr-[spacebar] m [arrow key] (not the ones on the numeric keypad0 Move the mouse until the item appears. (Do not click a button0 When in view, click the left button. Try this with any active item. This is not Frame specific. However, the FrameMaker Structure View is different, and usually needs an offshoot of this procedure. This issue that you cannot make the View active by clicking the icon if you dlick somewhere else after the first time. So close Frame, open it, click the icon once and do the above procedure. This keeps the View active so that you can move it. This procedure is for XP. Don't know if Vista works the same.

Structure View won't appear
Whenever I try to modify a structured document, the Structure View will not appear when I click the Structure View button. All of the other dialogs will open when I click them (i.e. the Element Catalog). Even if I try the keyboard shortcut, the Structure View still will not open. I even tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Frame, and I still have the problem. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'm running FrameMaker 8.0p277.

Re: Structure View won't appear
Hi, Ben: It's possible that the window is opening off screen. This can be caused by lowering your screen resolution, or changing to a smaller monitor, between the time you closed FM with the window far off-center, and opening FM in the smaller screen. Have you tried using the Windows control menu - the one that comes up when you click the icon in the top-left corner of the application's (FM's) menu bar, choosing Move, then using the cursor arrow keys to move a possibly-off-screen structure window bqck home? The structure window may be to the left, right, top, or bottom. I believe the window settings are saved in one of the maker.ini files (there are two, one for user, one for application; use Windows Search to find them. Make a safety copy, then pen in a text editor or FM and look for windows location settings: four pairs of numbers separated by commas, to define the corner locations. I think if you change the first one to 10,10 it locates the top-left corner ten pixels down and ten pixels in from the left. Save the file - IF IN FM, REMEMBER TO SAVE AS TEXT! Quit and restart FM. If this messes things up, rename maker.ini to xmaker.ini, and rename the safety copy to maker.ini, then restart FM.
