Hi, all. Very slight change of topic (but kinda related):
Can anyone comment on their experiences with FrameMaker 8 (not 7.2) on Vista? Does it work as well as on XP? I was about to do that installation (on a second laptop that only runs Vista) and realized that I better ask about it first! :) Regards, Z > -----Original Message----- > From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of > Yves Barbion > Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 9:51 AM > To: Rick Quatro > Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com; framers at omsys.com > Subject: Re: FrameMaker 7.2 and Vista > > Hi Rick, > > we installed FrameMaker 7.2 on a Vista Home Premium laptop (2 GB) of one > of our technical writers last year.
