Tammy, I've found Win10 to be the most reliable and trouble-free version of Windows. I currently use it for all development work and that includes FrameMaker 10, 11, 12 2015 and 2017. So far no probe to report. Functionality seems perfect with everything doing what it should. When I have to up

Yes, and if the .book files aren't in the same directory, when a customer downloads the PDFs, all the inter-document links break. That's another reason I started using one big PDF for the whole doc set. On Tue, Jan 9, 2018 at 7:04 AM, David Creamer wrote: > In addition to Rick's comments, I beli

I usually just keep the latest version installed, but periodically need to install an older version for online training. I have not had any major problems with older versions that I can remember. Windows 10, generally, is not a big deal, once you get over the start menu changes. Even that is not

Hi Tammy, I guess you don't need too e too afraid of these issues. When you do a system upgrade, especially when it's a bigger jump, the best practice is usually to do a test on a separate instance. Generally speaking, this is just best practice in IT. Like most people, you will probably not f

I had some issues installing TCS4 on a new Win10 laptop, but managed to get it working. It sounds like you aren't getting a brand new machine, just an update "in place" so I suspect you'll be fine. From: Framers on behalf of tammyvb Sent: January 9, 2018 9:2

Ok Stefan, These aren't trivial issues obviously and don't make me feel secure in my decision at all.  I have had 3 responses saying that running Windows 10 w/ older versions of Framemaker had not been an issue. Does anyone else on this list have experience either way? Thank you. Tammy Sent fr

BTW, one other major thing for Windows 10: I run on a Microsoft Surface Book with dual monitors. That alone is worth getting FM2017 as it allows dialogs (and the software) to correctly size on the displays I use.
