Hello Pearl, Most likely another recent installation superseded your FM definitions. The following should help: - In Control Panel open the Folder Options - Select the tab File Types and wait until the list is built - Scroll down to "fm Adobe FrameMaker Document" - Delete this entry (yes, do it) - Start FrameMaker in the command line with the option -reg, e.g. H:\Adobe\framemaker.72en\FrameMaker.exe -reg - This will re-establish the entries in the Registry Good luck Klaus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Docu + Design Daube; Sch?racher 11; CH-8053 Z?rich Technical documentation & consultancy; On-line and paper Phone: +41-44-422 86 25 FAX: +41-44-422 82 78 E-mail: ddd at daube.ch Web: www.daube.ch/
