RE: FM10 crashes saving book as HTML, inserts rogue word
I can't say anything about the crash. But I can say that the inconsistencies when saving as HTML may have to do with your book-wide HTML setup. The first document in the book should have two sets of HTML setup flows, one for the document and one for the book. Look at your ref pages in that first file -- you should see two versions of each HTML setup table. Make sure both are in sync. My guess is they are not. About the crash, I would try making a special book using your files, but with only the first file in the book, then try that. See if it crashes. If it does, then zip it up and send it to the team in India. You would be doing us all a favor. If it doesn't crash, add files one-by-one until you get the crash. Then delete files EXCEPT that culprit until it's the only one. Still crashes? You might have something odd in that file -- try mif-washing it. Othersies, zip it up and send it to India!

FYI: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15
Just got this from a friend at Adobe (I'm trying to get some clients to upgrade). Cheapest route to go is the "Promo" which ends June 15th, which lets you upgrade FM7.x to FM10 at 30% of what would have been normal cost. Before this promo you could only have updated to entire tech comm suite. (Much more expensive.) This 30% off upgrade ends FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER on June 15th. It will never be repeated. This is your last chance. *Promo landing page: *http://adobe.ly/ItpxLt *Summary of 10-part blog series on "why upgrade":* http://adobe.ly/IDoaYj *Blog with summary of 4 Captivate videos:* http://adobe.ly/L7qfvg Also, any earlier versions are now orphans.
