I've never had issues opening files from older versions in the current version. For grins, I just opened a 1994 file that was in v3, and it opened fine. You could install a 30-day trial of the current version (16, aka 2020) to confirm that it works and see if the .jpeg import error goes away.

One of the edits tries to add a .jpeg image to a file. To do this, I create and select an empty Graphics frame. I then click on File -> Import -> File... I then navigate to the .jpeg file and click on Import. When I do this, I see the message: The filter encountered an error and could not compete the translation which, I don't understand. Although I have been able to import many such images in the past, doing this no longer works for me. I have tried different images and different image formats, all with the same result. I have searched online for interpretations of this message, to no avail. I have even tried completely reinstalling Framemaker. Nothing I do changes the outcome. Can anyone provide an interpretation for this message? Can anyone suggest a workaround? Of course, one possibility would be to buy a more recent version of Framemaker. But before I do this, I want to better understand the problem, so I can have some confidence that the new version would fix it. Also, if I do this, can I expect that .fm or .mif files created in v5 would work on the most recent version? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
