I'd like to know how copy and paste, especially with 2-byte languages such as Japanese and Chinese, works between Mac apps and WIndows FrameMaker under Parallels? Since FM8 is Unicode savvy, the results may be different for FM6/7 and FM8. Today, I'm working on an FM document containing Japanese, and every time I want to copy and paste a Japanese word or phrase into my J-E dictionaries, online and offline, I first have to convert it from Shift-JIS to UTF-8 in another app (SubEthaEdit), which grows more and more tedious as the day goes on. A Unicode-savvy version of FrameMaker for Mac OS X would certainly provide some relief. Interestingly, if I copy UTF-8 text into FM, Mac OS X/Classic automatically does the UTF-8 to Shift-JIS conversion for me. I'm running FM6 in Classic on a Power Mac G5 (Mac OS 10.4.10). Paul

Learning FrameMaker 7.0 on Mactel (10.4.10) with Parallels/XP Home
Noel, I use FM7.2 & 8 on a daily basis on Windows XP Pro under Parallels. It has been a very stable environment for me. Using Parallels in Coherent mode means that FM sits nicely with my other Mac apps. I had one instance where the virtual hard disk got corrupt after an upgrade of Parallels and lost a small amount of work. Since then I share my Mac's user documents folder and store my work in there. This allows me to backup up my Windows files along with my Mac work at the same time. Being able to double click on an FM file from Mac's Finder and open it up in FrameMaker within Parallels makes life nice and easy. You can even drag a file from Finder into FrameMaker in Parallels.
