Hi Fred, When you place the insertion point directly after a word and before a space and start typing regular characters, FM inserts the characters in green. As expected. When you then enter a space, FrameMaker overwrites the existing space (if you have Smart Spaces activated). That way the

I think my first question would be if FM 8 isn't offered for sale anywhere because it's not a supported release, how you'd upgrade... And I was curious about why you think 9 has a buggy interface... after a year in use and three patches, it's at least as stable as 7.1 and quicker. Not to mention

You're going to find it interesting locating a copy of Frame 8. It's doable but nobody sells it. There is a post on the Adobe Frame forum, I think, that has a solution where you get a volume license and use the license key to enable the Frame 8 features. I use Frame 7 and Frame 8 but not Frame 9

For what it is worth, so far I've had luck with running Windows XP with various service packs and using FM 7.2, 8, 9. I've just switched to Win7 (my laptop died mid work...) and it is running all three with no issues as well. I don't think that IE has any direct impact on FrameMaker at all, so you

Sounds like the most likely fix is to check the FM application files to make sure that they point to the right paths. On top of that there is also the potential to review the RW to see where it is. The default STRUCTDIR is based on the install, so if there is a direct copy/paste that someone did

Hi Bj?rn There are two ways to "cook this chicken": 1. You can generate a TOC file and import that one "by reference" into your Fm file. This TOC will then be a text inset which you can update. This is the "standard" way of creating "chapter TOCs" (aka "mini TOCs" or "local TOCs") in FrameMaker.
