Re: FM abruptly closes with no save

When you paste a slide from PowerPoint into FrameMaker, it will be inserted as an OLE object (Object Linking and Embedding). And sometimes, OLE objects don't behave well. As Pete said, you may want to export your slides as png files and import those by reference into FrameMaker. Or you can

Slightly OT: Windows Vista does not allow me to change any (ini) files in Program Files folders

Hi Framers, this is slightly OT, but I think relevant for all Windows Vista users. Sometimes, we change an ini file in the FrameMaker installation folder, for example: C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.2\maker.ini No problem in Windows XP, but, in Windows Vista, we get error messages saying

Macro Express

Are there any of you out there that use Macro Express for FM? I see it's not as powerful that FrameScript, but it seems much simpler to use. FrameScript is like a programming language. I use macros in Word, but the record macro feature really helps for that. Does FrameScript have a record

Markers in the text

Hi all: I'm working with someone eles's templates, and every now and then I find an upside down T in the text. I've seen these markers for anchored frames, and I've seen them in the TOC, but when they appear to be randomly placed in the text, how do I find out what they are? Thanks Deirdre

Table format names in XML files.

Hi Framers, I've a question about saving a FM document as an XML file. The FM document contains several tables with different formats (Format A, Format B, etc.). However, the table format names are not exported to the XML file. The elements for the tables are all identical (TABLE.../TABLE).
