RE: FM 9 Keyboard Shortcuts (ATTN: R. Jacquez!)

Hi, One plus about FM9 -- the User Guide actually has a long chapter devoted to keyboard shortcuts for navigation, menu choices, equation editor, and so on. Such documentation was woefully lacking in previous versions. At least the comment regarding missing documentation in previous

FM 8 bugs, anyone?

Hi Framers, Most of the posts are about bugs in FM 9, but I've been slow in migrating our documentation team to FM 8. I've installed the patches, so now we're running Ver. 8.0p277. The most serious problem we've encountered is with conditional text. When a paragraph is conditionalized and you

Re: FM 9 Keyboard Shortcuts (ATTN: R. Jacquez!)

At the very least, give us a list of keyboard commands for UI manipulation. I found some commands in wincmds.cfg: (Toggle) Between open document tabs? Ctrl-F6 (ShowNextKit) and Shift-Ctrl-F6 (ShowPrevKit) There is still some bugginess, though. The commands worked always in with .FM files.

Re: Bullets in multiple columns

Hi Steve, Have you looked at creating multiple columns and then for the heading and text that explains, define those as crossing-over all columns? Done similar before, but it depends on how much is two column, one column, etc. And if it is a lengthy section within an otherwise standard document,

Also, if your table spreads across pages it will not necessarily sort correctly if the split moves up or down. Controlling line spacing between table and paragraph is made more difficult when using tables (you have more metrics to deal with than with simple paragraph line-spacing). Alan Jing

I'm on my Mac now, so I can't check this out, but in FM 8 and earlier, PgUp/PgDn would cycle through Paragraph, Character, and (I think) Table designer property pages. I just checked and PgUp/PgDn does the same in FM9. However, the highlight isn't changing to icon for the new property page.
