FrameMaker 9 - UI issues
I upgraded to FM9 from FM8 recently, and like moving easily among the tabbed dialogs. There are a few UI actions, however, that seemed to have gone away from previous versions and that I miss: 1. In FM8 and earlier, I was able to import a graphic to an anchored frame, rescale it, and use Ctrl-Z to undo the resize. In FM9, Ctrl-Z does not work. Result is having to delete the graphic, re-import it, and try another scaling factor. 2. In FM8 and earlier, I was able to apply the Default Font option on the Character Catalog panel to a segment of text. In FM9, I see no Default Font on the Character Designer tab. Result is having to re-apply the default font for the paragraph to the entire paragraph using the Paragraph tab. 3. In FM9, on both the Paragraph and Character Designer tabs, the Command down-arrow button does nothing for any specified tag. If these actions still exist in FM9 in a different form, or there are work-arounds, I would appreciate knowing. Thank you.

2. In FM8 and earlier, I was able to apply the Default Font option on the Character Catalog panel to a segment of text. In FM9, I see no Default Font on the Character Designer tab. Result is having to re-apply the default font for the paragraph to the entire paragraph using the Paragraph tab. I still see Default Font as the first entry in the Character Catalog. Note: That's the Character Catalog, not the Character Designer. Your message was a little confusing. You have to open the Character Catalog from a menu, now, though. The toolbar icons at the right side of the document window are now gone. 3. In FM9, on both the Paragraph and Character Designer tabs, the Command down-arrow button does nothing for any specified tag. Adobe is aware of that bug. The workaround for the Paragraph and Table Designers is to click on one of the other tab icons at the top, then the Commands button will work again. With the Character Designer, you have to close and reopen the panel to get it to work again. These workarounds are only necessary once for each FrameMaker session.
