Ellen, It sounds like your 'IT' department are being fussy with licensing. FrameMaker 7.1 was one of the last versions of FrameMaker that didn't dial Adobe for license activation, and if your company has a multi-user [bulk] license, you may be able to convince your IT department to install FM

Hi Jack Nice to know I'm not the only one. I agree with you in suspecting it may be related to memory, though little do I know about such things. I've been watching FM memory use in the Task Manager. Beginning of day, one doc open: FrameMaker.exe is using 14K. End of day, same doc open

Hi Roger, If you decide to investigate, you might consider taking a look at any plugins you have installed. A single line of missing code from a third-party developer can cause memory to hemorrhage. Lord knows I've been guilty and still am occasionally. Russ --

Hi Ellen, In my opinion, it's going to be very inconvenient to have one writer on FM9 and the others on FM7. Right now, I am working on a project in FM7.1, another in FM8 and a third in FM9. It's been a real split-brain experience, for sure! Based on the issues I have had, I would really

Can I use Frame 7.2 WebWorks to create JavaHelp that is 508 accessible? If so, what do we need to do with the WebWorks compiler to create 508 compliant output. Can I use 7.2 Frame to create a PDF that is 508 accessible? Does FrameMaker support the tagging needed to enable the output

Disregarding a leak, since there isn't a lot you can do about it but note that one exists, I'd look at getting more RAM. If you only have 1 G on board, you should have several open slots, and RAM is cheap right now. Easiest way to boost performance would be to go to at least 2, and probably 4G.
