Could you give more details on your environment? Could you give some details on how much RAM, how much free space; are the FM files and graphics local or on a server, etc and what exactly do you mean by "simple tasks"? Are the files and books you're working with FM 10 files, or legacy files

As others have noted, the backslash is a reserved character in FrameMaker dialog boxes. There is a whole series of backslash codes defined to allow you to type special characters (i.e., characters that you can't produce directly from the keyboard with only the Shift key as a modifier) in dialog
