FYI: I am currently using FrameMaker 12 to do a structured project for a
client. FrameMaker 12 is certainly capable of working with structured
documents.

FrameMaker is a specialist tool for people who want template-driven
PDFs (and optionally web help etc.) or who for whatever reason chose
FrameMaker as part of their DITA toolchain.
Adobe has no incentive to make it more competitive with InDesign as a
page-layout program.

Ditto what Mike said. The ONLY reason I'm still sticking with Frame12
is because I have no need for structured documents and there haven't
been enough non-structure improvements since FM12 to justify the cost
of upgrading. Yes, some would-be-nice-to-haves, but nothing worth the
price. The
New versions of FrameMaker always seem to concentrate on adding features
for the structured community. I get it. That's the strenght of the
program. But the new features I'd like to see involve handling of
graphics and type. For example, it would be nice to be able to make a
graphic float in

Over the years, I've beta tested a few FrameMaker versions. I always test

FM 2019 was released in August 2018, so if they stick to the ~18-month
release cycle they've had for the past ten years, it's about time for
the next release.

My memory for dates is a sieve. Lynne is correct, and if the 18-month cycle
holds true, we should see 2020 sometime in March.

Text Structure Consulting,
John,
FM should not crash when you apply Show/Hide settings. Please give
us an update and let us know if you experience crashes now that you've
switched to using conditional expressions. When you were using the
Show/Hide shuttle boxes, did FM always crash when processing the same
file? Did

You might make sure text symbols are on when you assign the

Hi,
I am using structured FrameMaker 2019 and have Table Continuation variables

Hi, guys...
In developing the Conditional Expression (first time doing it), is it
advisable that within the parens, to list multiple exclusions as "A" or
"B", or "A" and "b"?

Hi John,
When there are bullets without content, then the paragraph mark
does not have the condition.
When this is at the end of a flow (in a table cell or at the end of the
main text flow), then add an empty paragraph without condition
after the paragraph with the condition.
