The printer selected needs to be Adobe PDF. If that's not working, you
may need to reinstall.
You might try a MIF wash on the .fm file(s) in case some corruption is
causing the problem.

Our writing group is being tasked to convert Word 2010 technical documents to

If each page has a single topic, then the way you have it is great.
If your procedures commonly extend beyond one page, then maybe this

We do this all the time. On our printer, we use the duplex top-bottom feature.
It has different names on different printers, but you should get the idea. We

Unfortunately, it's not limited to a particular doc. And I forgot to add

Hi Tim...
There are top of page properties for paragraph styles but not bottom

For the main body of each page, you'll likely need to use

I ran FrameMaker – forget which version though, but was probably FM 8 – on a
Alienware 17” M7700 system some years ago with Windows 7 Ultimate without any
problems. Fast machine at that time for sure!
So, I would be surprised if the hardware is in any way an issue.

Hi Syed,
All the files I'm trying to open are local. What's annoying is that the
machine I had before was a Windows 7 machine, 64-bit Home Edition, with no
problems. When I got this upgrade, I started to have problems with
FrameMaker.
Thanks.

That is unfortunate. A few other things that might be of note.
1. I assume that your installation of FM 9 is fully patched?
I was on FM 9 for only a short while – I did find it to be less than useful and
did experience some crashes, but not to the degree that you seem to be
experiencing!
When I need to convert a Word book into Frame, the workflow I use is
to print the Word book to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, and export
all of the graphics as .eps files. Then I import those by reference
into the FM book. (I rename them first to some meaningful filename.)
However, sometimes
Yes, but doesn't that render the extracted graphics as .jpgs? I
strongly believe that .jpg is not the best graphic format to use for
technical publications. Everyone's usage may vary and a lot depends
on how the graphics were inserted in the Word doc in the first place,
but .jpgs don't work
Another technique to get graphics in vector rather than raster format is to
extract the page from the PDF, then crop the image. Your final image, while
better than a simple raster graphic is still limited by the original
resolution. This does get around the horizontal band problem.
On Jun 5,
No, it doesn't render them as JPEGs because there is no rendering involved. The
zip archive that is the .docx file contains the source graphic files in
whatever format they were in when inserted into the Word document. Just look in
the Word/media folder inside the archive.
What this approach
You know, that is kind of why I do not post much anymore. Threads became
quite confused as some posts were held back and answered earlier thread
posts, which were themselves answered by others who posted later but
were passed through sooner.
I think I would be a long-time framer too, by now.
Craig asked who is the moderator of this list at this point, and I have to say
that I don't know. I did visit the www.frameusers.com website, and that site
appears to still be owned by Brad Anderson, who also used to be (and maybe
still is...) the listowner of this list. But I also noted that
I emailed a question to the moderator about this a year ago or so but

I made a similar complaint about the over-moderation and delays as of late on

This zip method of extracting graphics is cleaner that the Word saveAs HTML
method in that repeated graphics are saved only once and the dual versions
(both png and jpg) get reduced to only the png files. The result in the end is
the same set of graphics, but saveAsHTML is more work to get

You don't need to convert Word to PDF to extract images. Save the Word
doc as .docx if it's not already, make a copy, change the extension
from .docx to .zip, extract the files, and the images are all in
\word\media.
