Anything I should know before upgrading to TCS5?

Dear Carol: I am in the same boat, considering TCS5: I do notice that neither Photoshop nor Illustrator are included. Presenter is a bit clunky and nowhere close to illustrator. I am trying to find an educational discount price with no effect. I was very impressed with the stability of FM 11, but

Microsoft Word to FM 11 footnote conversion woes

Hi Framers: I have just converted many heavily footnoted Ms Word files to FM 11. The translation was more or less successful but the algorithm added a pesky space before the text of each footnote. Is there a code I could search for that would make this tedious job easier? (I am already yawning ju

ToC, Index hyperlink in FM 11 issue

Dear Framers: My ToC, lists and indexes are all creating excellent clickable pdfs, but in the native FM11 (fully updated) I cannot click on a generated list without getting a long message accompanied by a loud bell. In short, the FM "link" does not work. The book file is taking its time to generate

Persistent ghosting images

Dear Karen: Is it possible that the graphics are residing in an obscure master page perhaps off screen? A careless paste might have put them there. The image may be blank. Ditto for the reference pages. I presume the ghost images are referenced. Were they originally in anchored frames? Searching

One big file or grouped files

Footnote separator line solution

Dear Elchanan: This is an unusual fault from the Adobe side, that is. I have found that the footnote pgf has to remain the same, i.e. you cannot have zzfootnote. If you do not follow this dictat, sometimes the separator line is there and then sometimes it's not no matter what you do in the documen
