The Shift key short cut works with books and even if you have multiple
(non-book) documents open.
Keyboard shortcut: Esc f S (Think file menu>Save)
After saving all open files, you can then close all files using the same
Shift key technique.
Keyboard shortcut: Esc f C

Thanks for the useful follow-up, David.
I don't have the link to the complete list of FrameMaker keyboard shortcuts
handy, but perhaps you or someone else on the list has it and can post it.
IIRC, there are also some of KB commands that aren't documented, or that
were dropped in later compilations

This is not all of them, but includes some of the more useful.

An interesting aspect of Creative Cloud is the ability to retain older versions
when updates occur. (I assume this is still true.) It seems to me that a great
way to "sell" the subscription version of FM (or better yet, Creative Suite)
would be to allow installation of whatever older versions yo
I've opened a (very) old document which uses Zapf Dingbats which are not
on my current system. The document prints correctly from Frame 12, but
the screen display is gobbledygook.
What do people use for these fonts nowadays?
Thanks,

Use unicode fonts; most modern fonts are unicode. A lot of glyphs are now
available in standard fonts that weren't in thefonts before.
Also, purchasing Zapf Dingbats can't be that expensive. I found a copy of the
Helvetica, Times and Zapf Dingbat fonts that Adobe no longer includes with

Many people would argue with the reason you give for the "Base 14" PostScript
fonts not being bundled with applications after a certain time. The official
reason given by most software publishers was that the PostScript outline and

I have Zapf Dingbats available in my Frame 8 installation. How do I get
them to Frame 12?

I've heard recommendations to use Adobe Pi as a replacement.
The document may be printing fine because of printer-resident versions
of Zapf Dingbats on a Postscript printer. If you have a Postscript
printer, and still have the installation disk, it probably has a copy of

Are FM8 and FM12 on the same system?
Which Windows version(s)?
Are you printing to a PostScript printer, if so which one and what
driver are you using?
The Unicode version of ZapfDingbats won't solve this problem since the
character map is different. Adobe Pi does not have the same set of
glyphs
Some of the shortcuts stopped working in FM9 and to my knowledge some
of those bugs were never fixed.

I know the old escape shortcuts for moving up and down in a table broke;
however, Frame now lets you use cursors to move from row to row or column
to column.
I've also noticed that sometimes, shortcuts that have BEEN working will

Yes, but I was looking at the Character Designer and it "says" the font

If you see the font on screen in FM8, and it prints correctly, then I
think it must be installed.
If it's the old PostScript font, check that both the .pfm and .pfb

PostScript printers with resident fonts were standard in the Mac world
but never caught on in the PC / Windows market.
Windows versions of FrameMaker 7 and earlier came with Adobe Type

Compare the maker.ini files, as I described before. That's probably
where the problem is.
If the font were not installed, you would not see it on screen in FM8,
so that's not the problem.

No, my fonts folder has no Zapfdingbats.

Then it's probably a PostScript Type 1 font somewhere else on your

The font must be installed since it appears in FM8. The question is
why it's not appearing in FM12 on the same system.
The Type 1 font files are Zd__.pfb and Zd__.pfm.
Later versions of FrameMaker have a tendency to create multiple copies
of maker.ini. Usually the one with the most recent

Sorry, if I said that I mis-spoke. When highlighting the character that
