Hi everyone...
I must admit that I'm overwhelmed by the number of kind and helpful
responses I've received, especially considering my expertise at the time
of my first posting. I'm relearning the application, having once
produced a very nice User's Manual in or around 2007. It's been an
arduous climb back up the learning curve after 9 years, but thanks to
all of you, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
I don't have the means, unfortunately, to upgrade to FrameMaker 8, 9 or
beyond. That said, I have no need to backsave anything from FM 7.2, so
that isn't an issue. I am curious, though, about the statement below
that UTF-8 can cause some problems in 7.2 other than with backsaving.
Are there issues with this within a FM 7.2-only environment?
Also, since everyone has unanimously suggested that one should avoid
using the Formatting Bar and even the shortcuts via key strokes, I
assume that means that paragraph tabs should only be configured in the
Paragraph Designer.
Thanks again for your valuable suggestions.
Dennis....

A translation company I worked for ran into problems trying to save later files
back to 7.0 mif because certain characters (like bullets used in list, I see to
remember) would be messed up by that.

The differences between unstructured FrameMaker 6 and 7.2 were fairly
minor. The main thing I recall was the addition of multi-level undo.
The big changes were in FM8, which switched from proprietary character
sets to Unicode, and FM9, which layered on the nonstandard UI (though
as you drill down some of the dialog boxes are unchanged from FM5 or
even earlier).
