Hello,

I have had a troublesome EDD problem.  I have structured a FM book containing structured FM files, which have been opened and updated to FM15/FM2019, but the element definitions [EDD] in the book and the files is from the previous version FM14/FM2017.

As my FM15 EDD contains some structural changes - to table structures, I need to import them. If I select all the files in the book, and import EDD from the FM14 EDD, all the files are updated. If I select all the files in the book, and import EDD from the FM15 EDD, all the files are updated. If I import the FM14 EDD to the book, the book EDD version updated, and File > Save works.

But ... if I import the FM15 EDD to the book, the book EDD version is updated, but File > Save crashes FrameMaker with an Internal Error dialog.

I have been able to workaround this crash by using File > Save As ; saving as MIF 2019 format; File > Close ; File > Open the MIF ; and finally File > Save as FM 2019 document format.

Rather frustratingly, if I remove the changes of one table structure of one of the documents, the Book can be updated and saved without error.   But if I try changing the EDD - while still keeping the document and book structure valid - and try the operation again, I can either get the FrameMaker Internal Error dialog, or worse still, FrameMaker just being killed off and the process dies with no warning.


Has anyone else experienced such an effect?
