I had lock-up problems with 7.2 on Win 7. I could take care of the lock-ups by running it in administrator mode, but then updating books and generating PDFs was extremely slow, so I would switch back and forth between modes. I'm enjoying 10 now.
I think it's too bad Adobe doesn't allow an upgrade from 7, and FM is pricey. But I also don't understand companies balking at buying software that, in the scheme of things, is reasonable. How many upgrades would a CEO's bonus buy? Which does more for a company's health and productivity? tims From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Fei Min Lorente Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 12:57 PM To: Carrie Baker; Alan Houser Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: So how many of us are stuck with Frame 7.2? I'm looking at buying the latest version because our company is moving everyone to Windows 7, and FrameMaker 7.2 isn't supported on that OS. It doesn't mean it won't work, but our management prefers to play it safe.

I do not know if it is altogether a bad thing to be using Frame 7. I sort of just wanted to know that other people are also using Frame of that vintage.
