Aaron,
Have you posted this question anywhere else? To a "non" FrameMaker list for
example (TechWR?). Just a thought.
As others have said, I'd want to know more about what outputs were required,
how often you have to build them, and what the usage of the docs will be.
FrameMaker + WWP is a good

Can I specify the size of the window that opens when I open a new file?
Sometimes the window opens at 120% sometimes it opens as a rectangle, and
other times it just opens the file and is minimized at the bottom of the
screen. My objective is to have the window open at 83% so I can view the

Hi Natalie...
If you're working on binary FM files (not opening an XML file), it
*should* open to the size, zoom, and position that it was last saved. If
you have the document minimized and you do a "Save All Files" .. it'll
reopen in a minimized state. Or possibly someone else has been working

Ah,yes. It is not a new window, it is a saved doc. Strange that FM saves the
zoom level, I think.
The time that the file opens minimized, is when I open a file from the book.

Hi Natalie,
The zoom setting for a document gets saved with the document. You can also
set the zoom for all of the files in a book, although you can only choose
from several settings. If you have FrameScript, you could set all of the
FrameMaker files on your hard drive to any zoom percent you w

this is true.
But no hard facts like you requested.
