CudSpan and other Plug-Ins for FM 9

I've finally taken the plunge from FM 7 to FM 9, and I'm wondering about the smoothest path for migrating the plug-ins. I've got a couple of questions: 1. I know Chris sometimes frequents our lists, so perhaps he or another can confirm whether the CudSpan plug-ins work with FM 9. I've seen that

Good luck, Cynthia. I've forgotten all of the details, but I've had this happen in FM 6 and FM 7, too, so we can't blame FM 9 for this one. I'm pretty sure the settings were on the Frame side. Sorry if a bit vague, but I'd suggest you double-check the Print Setup settings at the book level and
