Christopher - We are on the same version. I've never experienced the program close on the scroll bar, but on my current project I have a larger than average number of screen shot pictures. My document is primarily for PDF reading online so I'm not going to press at all, so for this project, I'm not using EPS. What I like about the saved image is that if developers make an alteration on a screen form, I just replace the image file and it updates in the book. BTW: I'm an old newbie. I used FM on Sun Micro Solaris waaay back and am now back to neophyte! :) Pete

I got one suggestion that the scroll bar sometimes makes the program close, but I think it was when I inserted the new frame that it happened. Anyway, "Save" will now be part of my iterative process. -----Original Message----- From: Pete Rourke [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 6:19 PM Subject: RE: FM abruptly closes with no save You might try saving the powerpoint image as a png / bmp / gif, and then do a import file. What version of FM, & what platform?

I'm inserting graphics linked from a Powerpoint file. First I do Special > Anchored Frame, and set "Top of column". Then I paste the graphic into the frame. Twice today, after I have done this process 5 or 10 times, I perform the first step and suddenly FM closes without saving. Since contemporary software usually includes a Newbie Detector Module to make things more exciting for the beginner, maybe someone could suggest a way to make myself less obvious to the NDM. Thanks.
