I am a retired technical writer who cannot afford to upgrade to a later
version.

Professional that has the ability to set up a windows virtual PC. I finall
I actively drag and drop my FM2017 between 2 monitors. One is a large
screen, but at 1280/720 resolution. The other is a smaller screen, but at
3000/2000. I can see things like the paragraph designer actually be at
"50/50" when I am between screens. Part is 'larger' and the other 'smaller'.

Hi Austin,
compatibility with high-dpi screens is one of the major changes in the 2017
release. FrameMaker fully supports high-dpi screens up to 4k (3840 x 2160).
This can also be found on our official product pages:

If you want to create forms and other things in Frame for output to PDF,
check out Shlomo Perets' Microtypes website. His TimeSavers tools insert
postscript code into Frame files to do things like create dynamic forms.

I'm so sorry, if you felt that my original mail was offensive to you. That's
not at all what I wanted! When I was writing about a "young and fresh team full

Hey Patrick,
As far as I know, there is no way to make a single variable have two
different values in the same file, and if you insert two separate variables
in a table title, they'll both show up for every page that title is
displayed on.
Some of the scripters might have a different answer for y
But there does seem to be a difference in the font tracking/kerning - and it's
much more readable in the 2015 version.

As an example, one only has to look at the kludge that Microsoft made of Word.
It is not as easy to do perform certain function or to access features. New and

OK, this makes more sense. If you have a 4K screen, then you will definitely
see a difference between 2015 and 2017. But the way I read Dave's original
post, this isn't the issue he is referring to. He considers the text in the
2015 Marker pod to be too small and it's not because he is using a 4K

Here's a comparison of Marker dialogs in FM2015 and FM2017 at default
size on a 4k monitor. My results are similar to Stefan's. Pixel
real-estate of this and similar dialogs is increased by 4x in FM2017.

I think that the big changes are only apparent for those with high-res
screens. Would be interesting to see a side-by-side from someone with a
4k. Perhaps that's what Stefan's screenshots came from.

That is interesting. The font used on the 2015 side actually looks a little

Since both pods/panels/dialogs are resizable, I've made them both as
small as possible. The FM2017 text is slightly taller but narrower.

No, what I said is, that we have changed the index marker pod in FM 2017. It is
NOT the same as the one in FM 2015.
The font size is the same now as in all other dialogs where you have editable
text. It's not the same small size as in FM 2015 anymore.

Thanks for this update. Unfortunately, I have no idea whether (and if so,
when) I will get FrameMaker 2017 Release. I guess that the change you reported
is something I'll just have to look forward to.
