Hi,
Opening from different locations with different results seems to point to a
problem with unavailable or corrupt paths.
Can you deactivate the graphics in FM (View Options Graphics) and then try
to open the document ?

Hi,
Thanks for the many replies. It is unanimous that FM is just giving a warning
that the numbering of a document that also appears in another book has changed
on updating the current book. I understand that there is nothing that can be
done to avoid that.
I would like the warning to just
This is a newbie question; on the technical side I am not a FrameMaker newbie,
having used it for several decades, but I am not familiar with recent versions
since I have stuck to old ones which do what I need, on Solaris and Windows.
With recent releases of Windows, however, FrameMaker 7.2,
This file opens fine in Frame 10. It opens fine in Frame 12 IF it is a MIF
file. As soon as I save the file from MIF10 to FM in Frame12, close it and
reopen it, the program crashes again.
I am, of course, on multiple deadlines, and yes, I do need this file to
work in Frame12.
HELP!

Hello Bertrand,
did you check to work with the Compatibility mode setting? This is set
for the exe-file(s) of older applications and sometimes it may help --
you would choose the Window XP mode here.
Another problem is, that older applications often require admin-rights
for certain folders
You can still buy it at Adobe, they just make it hard to find.

Keep clicking next at the bottom until you see FrameMaker (for me it was
page 5), then click Buy. The full
My main monitors are just about 100 (top-of-the-line trailing-edge
1600x1200), but I've used from 65 (huge low-res display some moron
bought scores of) to 220 (MacBook with Retina display, so basically
equivalent to 110 in normal mode) in recent years.
LCDs keep getting higher resolution.

“Divide and conquer” is always a good troubleshooting strategy in such cases.
Cut the MIF file in half and save each half as FM. Theoretically, one of the FM
files will crash and the other won’t, narrowing down the location of the
problem. Repeat the process as necessary to isolate the problem
The weird thing? If I open the SAME FILE from my local hard drive in FM12,
it's happy as a clam.The only time it crashes is if I open it from the
server, and it's not that big a file (40 pages).
I've deleted the problem graphic (an SVG generated by Visio 2013) and
recreated a new SVG from Visio.
Adobe's store has really bad UI, at least for FrameMaker. Click Buy
Now, then change the I want to buy to Full.
Before you spend $1000, you might want to do a free evaluation of MadCap Flare.

Try saving as .mif v.12 before reopening/saving as .fm v. 12?

I tend to disagree. When I got my Win8 laptop (I do software QA as well as TW),
I found that Frame 8 crashed with abandon. I now use Remote Desktop to my
previous Vista machine to do what I need to do.

Try saving as .fm in FM10 and opening that in FM12.

I used the divide and conquer method and tracked it down to a particular
graphic. Thanks all for the help offered!

Hi,
This subject must come up regularly. I use the certain documents in several
books. When I update those books I have Inconsistent Numbering Properties.
I open the documents that are named. I set their numbering properties as in the
book. But the problem is then put to another document, or
Hi Stephen,
I don't think there is any way to avoid this. When you have a common
document in your book, its page numbering will be set to how it was numbered
the last time it was updated, either in the current book or any other book
that it is contained in. That is where the mismatch may come
The inconsistent numbering properties message is only a warning. If you
ignore it, FrameMaker will do exactly what you want it to do: it will use the
numbering properties as set in the book file. FrameMaker warns you so that you
can make sure that nothing has inadvertently been changed in the
The error message appears because the numbering properties are inconsistent.
Open all of your documents and the book. Start with your book and make sure the
numbering is correct (from your book, right click each document and select
Numbering from the menu to view the numbering properties). When
You CAN do it this way if you want, but it is much easier to just set the
numbering properties at the book level and update the book. Dismiss the
inconsistency messages and when the update is done, the numbering will be as
you set it. There is no need to check each document.
