I have a virtually clean machine with A to O drives. I mention this as I print export to different drives for space reasons. I am printing .ps files to another, spacious drive. The current book file has 77 heavily indexed, heavily illustrated document files. Many of my crashlogs provide the page number where it stopped distilling. Turns out this was the last page of the document file. When I inspected the last page it looked good, until I noticed that after the last word there was that symbol which looked like an 8, but aint. That symbol was on its own line and when I pulled up paragraph designer, the paragraph label was body and the font was Script24 ( I forget the exact spelling). I am unable to change that font using the default font in character designer. In some other files the same character at the same point in the file was Times Roman. Also quite unable to change the font. What is this character and why is it visiting my files? The character is the end-of-flow character, and it appears in any and every file that has a text flow. It acts like the pilcrow at the end of all your other paragraphs. I don't know why you can't change it's formatting in the designer, but you could try putting your cursor just in front of it and then backspacing once, so that it becomes the final character of your final paragraph (which is where it should be in all documents). Then see if your final paragraph is properly tagged and behaves as expected. It sounds as though you may just have a corrupt file. Try saving as MIF and then re-opening; that often solves mysterious problems. MIF files are enormous and you have a large file to begin with -- make sure you save it on a disk with lots of space. I have tried successfully (I thought) to change the system font to one of the two fonts I use (Adobe Garamond and Myriad Roman) using the maker.ini file. Not respected. You'd have to provide more details on what exactly you did, before anyone on the list could guide you on that one. IIRC, there's more than one .ini file for FM 7.2. Thus I at least have identified the fault area (last page of the file), but now am stuck for a solution. I read somewhere that the last page is the page where all the numbering information is. I can report no page numbering problems, but I digress... I think you're confusing FM with MS Word. Word saves a huge amount of information in the final pilcrow of a document and that info often gets corrupted. Numbering in Word is a cruel joke at best, even without the pilcrow location.

Or am I stuck with no formatting in parts >of my bibliography? Do I go back to Frame 7? References to character formats in index markers indeed cause problems in FrameMaker 8.0, from crashes to missing entries. There is nothing incorrect in the marker content, and the same syntax works fine in previous FM versions. In the cases I tested, the only "workaround" was to remove references to character formats in markers. A few weeks ago, Vivek Jain, Group Product Manager at Adobe Systems, mentioned another patch for FrameMaker 8, expected in the first quarter of 2008. http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2007/08/framemaker_8_is_available.html#comment-763946 Hopefully, the new patch will address this and other FM8.0 bugs. (and hopefully, another version/patch will address some of the FM5/6/7 bugs?)
