RE: Special Marker dialog box has disappeared
Richard, Thanks for the suggestion. My system must have some other problem, because the change made no difference: the Marker dialog box still does not appear. For what it's worth, here are the values in my DialogLayout section of maker.ini: [DialogLayout] ;--Dialog Window layout -- MakerWin=3, -1, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 640, 400 PCatalog=500, 40, 130, 180 CCatalog=500, 220, 130, 180 Tools=600, 20 Equation=0, 20 Spell=0, 20 PFormat=7, 43 CFormat=0, 20 Search=0, 20 Table=7, 63 Ruling=0, 20 Markers=200, 200 Hypertext=0, 20 CondText=0, 20 Numbering=0, 20 Help=0, 20 Thesaurus=0, 20 TemplateBrowser=0, 20 VQuickAccessBar=0, 20 ECatalog=500, 50, 130, 350 dennis --- Combs, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dennis Davideit wrote: A couple week ago, my Marker dialog box suddenly disappeared.

missing Marker dialog
Thank you Ian. The Alt-space, m, arrow-key maneuver worked, pulling the errant dialog back onto the visible screen. I have never been so glad to see a Marker dialog box. In answer to other questions: - The maker.ini setting (in the Program Files location) when the Marker dialog went missing was "Markers=0, 20", like many of the other settings. Not knowing then about the second version of maker.ini in \Documents and Settings, I don't know what values it contained. The horizontal value must have been large, because my screen resolution is 1600 by 1200. - Oddly, a search of my C drive turns up only one maker.ini, in Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker 7.1. However, the second version of the file is indeed present, as Mike Wickham indicated. After pulling the Marker dialog box into the visible area, closing and rebooting, that version of maker.ini shows the following: Markers=964, 357 It is good to know about this version of maker.ini in \Documents and Settings. - I must give a hearty thank you to everyone for their kind and detailed assistance. I am very impressed by this group. Dennis Davideit Tech writer Symantec Corp Roseville, MN 651-746-7202 Got a little couch potato?

Special Marker dialog box has disappeared
I am new to this list (I work at Symantec). Am looking for assistance with the following problem (on Frame 7.1, Windows XP): A couple week ago, my Marker dialog box suddenly disappeared. That is, when I click Special Marker, the Marker dialog box does not appear. The other dialogs in the Special menu display correctly (Anchored Frame, Cross Reference, etc). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker, but the problem persists. Would be very thankful of any help or suggestions! -dennis Be a better Globetrotter.
