RE: what to back up before reinstalling
Hmmm, instead of having to worry about all the details (although the Linguistics folder is an exception – I was not aware of that), why not simply make a complete copy of the folder that FrameMaker 12 is installed in? That is trivially simple to do. Then you have a complete copy to retrieve from as needed.

Carol,First and foremost your maker.ini. This one is a MUST.If you have ANY plugins installed, at a minimum, the \fminit\plugins folder.

RE: what to back up before reinstalling
Hi Carol, I do not know whether this changed with FrameMaker 12. However, FrameMaker 11 has its Linguistics folder not in AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Framemaker\12, but in AppData\LocalLow\Adobe In the Linguistics folder there is the user dictionary which I definitely would back up.

RE: what to back up before reinstalling
Always a good idea to deactivate & reactivate. Yes, custom workspaces can be restored via your backup. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Carol J. Elkins Sent: October-27-14 5:29 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: what to back up before reinstalling Sigh. I have to reinstall Framemaker 12 on my Win7 system. Before I do so, I am creating a list of all of the files that I need to back up so that I can restore all of my customization after I reinstall. Here is my list so far (not including all of the add-ins and scripts that are unique to my installation). Back up the following from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Framemaker\12 Folder WorkSpaces (specifically the .cfsw and .fws files) Folder Linguistics File consfile.txt File maker.ini File pdfsize.ini Back up the following from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12 Folder Templates Folder fminit Folder plugins maker.ini Any others? I will post the final list somewhere that will serve as a resource to the rest of us; I've had no luck searching for such a list on Adobe or by Googling. Two additional questions: Does anyone know if backing up the WorkSpaces folder REALLY allows you to retrieve your custom workspaces after reinstall? I vaguely remember having a problem with this when I upgraded to FM12. And do I need to deactivate my current installation before reinstalling it on the same computer?
