I automate as much as I can, and for that very reason. A few weeks ago, I learned how to create a Quick Step in Outlook (company email, you know how it is) that automates the emails I send asking for document reviews or announcing released documents. I was really please to find I could set up

I have been using FM 7.2 with Win 10 for almost a year now without problems. There are 2 patches, and which you should install depends on which version of FM 7.2 you are installing. I can't remember exactly what I did, but got it working after some experimenting. Even less crashes than with Win
