FrameMaker 9 slow and sometimes unresponsive?
Am I the only one to find that FrameMaker 9 is slow and sometimes unresponsive. I run Win 7/64bit and has vast amounts of RAM, but nevertheless it takes FrameMaker lots of time saving documents and sometimes using shortcuts just plainly stops working. I am right now writing some course material on FrameMaker 9 and slowly discovers the good and the bad. I really hate the new Paragraph Designer - what happend to the tabbed interface? Everything else has become tabbed only not what is used exensively. It is no longer possible to tell what part of the tab you're in unless you read. regards Bjørn ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: FrameMaker 9 slow and sometimes unresponsive?
I've noticed the same issue when I save a file. Usually, it's when I save the first time after opening FM9 (especially DITA XML files). Even if it is only a small file. I agree that the icons on the Paragraph Designer don't map to their actual meaning. But I've started to become used to them Other issues that bother me are that FM9 doesn't remember the last magnification value for DITA XML files, and it opens dialog boxes when I open a DITA XML file that I had closed previously.

Re: FrameMaker 9 slow and sometimes unresponsive?
Hi Nadine... Regarding the document magnification issue .. this is the situation for all XML in FrameMaker. The magnification (as well as other document settings) are not saved in the XML, and are reapplied from the template each time you open a file. You can open the template file and set the magnification as you like, then save it .. and that will be what you get. I've got a plugin called RestoreWindows that does this for you automatically (although it's not been updated for FM9 yet) .. http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/restorewindows.php Also, West Street Consulting has a plugin called Structure Tools that includes this same feature .. http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/WSC_StructureTools.htm Cheers, ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892 Writer wrote: I've noticed the same issue when I save a file.
