Hi, Pearl: Two other things I recall, prompted by reading your post:
* In the book window, use Edit > Suppress Automatic Updating. This permits files to open without checking for unresolved x-refs until you make it happen manually with Edit > Update Book or by printing or saving. It's possible that the files are slow to open, possibly caused by the missing font messages, causing the automatic update to trigger the unresolved x-refs message. * There are many possible causes of unavailable font messages that you can read about in a Google search for framemaker unavailable fonts. One troubleshooting approach is to save the files as MIF, and search for the missing font names in the MIF file to see if the font is specified in a table format, etc. You can open MIF files in a text editor, or by holding Shift+Ctrl while clicking Open on a selected file name in the File > Open dialog box, then choosing Each Line is a Paragraph. If you change the font name in MIF, you need to save the file as text only, with MIF extension, for FM to open it correctly as an FM file. Simply finding a reference to the font may suggest where you need to fix it in the FM interface. The Google search result will offer lots of troubleshooting tips and solutions.
