Hi Rick, Similarly to Linda I moved from FM 8 to FM 10 on Windows 7 early this year. I use the Track Text Edits feature for all documents. My experience:
o Mandatory for me to see exact changes: What exactly has changed. Which change do I have to communicate to others. Which file must be translated. o It's difficult to manage Track Text Edits and Conditions for the same text. Track Text Edits cover condition indicators. Conditions are often not maintained when I type in a section with conditions. Therefore I have to check the conditions for all new text. o Less crashes with FM 10 than with FM 8 in relationship with conditions and Track Text Edits. My FM 10 crashes seem to be related to that FM 10 expects books which are createad in FM 10.
