FWIW, I’ve had great results with conditional text in Fm2015 and Fm2017. And each subsequent release since Fm10 (including Fm2017) has crashed less than the previous. I run Fm on a very lean (75 Gb Virtual disk, running Win 8.1) with 16 Gb memory. Specifically, the changes in conditional text

I’ve used FrameMaker to create the EPUBS for all 3 versions of me Fm book (the 2017 version hit Amazon last week) Some additional points about my own EPUB experience Amazon creates its own version of the EPUB, which I didn’t ask for, and which isn’t terribly great. That’s why I produce my own

I don’t recall if Fm10 had the Edit with… option, so that might not even be an option, but if you’re comfortable with using a registry cleaner, it will likely clean up the issue. I wouldn’t expect the uninstall/reinstall would be necessary. Since I have both Photoshop and RoboScreenCapture on

Hi Judy, Yes, as Robert noted, both WebHelp and HTML5 are compatible with CSH. However, the documentation for CSH directly out of FrameMaker is not as robust as I’d like, so you’ll want to investigate fully before committing to doing CSH directly from Fm. -Matt Matt R. Sullivan Tech Comm

Yes Jeff, it’s true that they deprecated WebHelp in Fm output options, but I find the HTML5 to be so much better, and about 20% of the effort needed to customize it. Given the responsivity with HTML5, I (and my clients) haven’t missed WebHelp’s tri-pane output in the least. -Matt Matt R.

Hi Austin, You can very easily increase the size of your marker text in FrameMaker 2017. However, I don’t believe you can easily change the size of that text independently of many other things. Unfortunately, because the video that Stefan pointed you to is the 1920x1080 standard, I suppose
