Hello Alan (and Kelly) Kelly: your book's symptoms are exactly the same as mine: an unformatted index (I believe) survives.
Alan: I shall check the char formats, but that's a good possibility. Thanks. Does anyone know if this has been reported? I've been having difficulty finding anything on the adobe support site, including the 8.0.1 upgrade (which I managed to get from another list).

That is likely to be the culprit. This is a rather nasty FrameMaker 8 bug. -Alan Kanti.Mann at schange.com wrote: > Hello all: > > I'm just testing FM 8 for our group: we are still using FM6. > > In two tests with existing books, the first (a long doc plan w/several > chapters), opened and built fine. > > The next book (a user manual with index) crashes frame consistently. > Narrowed this down to the index.
