Ha! Like a dog worrying a squirrel in a woodpile, I tried importing
the corrupt file into a blank FM document. That worked! I am saved.
Friday is beginning to look better. Thanks everyone.

Subject: can corrupted FM doc be opened in some other way?
I'm using FM11 on a Win7 box. I spent yesterday writing content for
a new chapter in a book, thus there is no backup from a previous day.
Nor did I print a copy of the in-progress chapter before I quit for
the evening. When I shut down last night, Framemaker was happy with
the chapter. This morning, FM crashes immediately upon opening the
file. The generated error log file is not helpful; it reports
several internal errors with multi-digit meaningless numbers. The
crash is duplicated when opening the file on my laptop running the
same OS and FM version.
To test if it might be a corrupted graphic, I renamed the referenced
graphics folder and told FM to ignore missing graphics when opening
the file. The file still crashed FM.
At this point, I desperately need to get access to the content of
the file so that I can copy the text that I've already written and
start over. Is there some other way to open this file and get at the
ASCII text?
