We're using Track Text Edits. Is there a way to open a pod and keep the options
on the desk top, or must I keep clicking Special Track Text Edits
(selection).
Looks like I will have to continue to access the Special menu. Anyone know a
quicker way?
TIA.

what about upgrading your version of Win7 then downloading the free virtual
machine it supports and set up a virtual XP machine to run FM in?

Hi Phillip,
I wasn't even aware that you could run such an old version of Frame on Windows
7, so I'm not entirely surprised you are having some intermittent problems. I
was going to suggest running it in XP compatibility mode but that is not
available with Windows 7 Home.In actuality, it isn't
You can also get the free VMWare Player (which might have a different
name now) and install XP there. That should run OK on Windows 7 with
enough memory. I used it quite a bit in a previous job.

Hi Emelita-
We looked at it, but FM files are binaries. The repository gets huge very
quickly. Also, even if you store MIF instead, you still can't get any of the

Doug,
I've done this type of thing for several clients, though on a slightly
smaller scale. I've used a couple of tools that make the process much more
doable.
Here's what I've done:
