On-screen count of changes?
Good guess. Fixing was no sweat with the trusty file comparison summary, which I would've used anyway.

On-screen count of changes?
So--while working in FrameMaker 7.0p579 (XP) I thought that I was entering words into the Find field of the Find/Change dialog, while trying to read something elsewhere. But my fingers were hitting the wrong keys and when I looked up there was a prompt box that said something like "6 changes have been made this session." My reflex to close the box was faster than my comprehension, and I clicked OK, then the box was gone as I realized what I had read. I didn't know that FrameMaker could produce an on-screen count of changes per session--probably counting applications of change bars. Does anyone know what facility that is and what keyboard shortcut activates it? I did a quick check of help and the Complete Reference but no luck.

My guess is that your fingers triggered a "replace all" (bad fingers, bad!), and the message was informing you of how many replacements were made. My sympathies and best wishes for finding and undoing the changes. But look on the bright side -- at least it didn't say "643 changes have been made." :-) Richard

My guess is that your fingers triggered a "replace all" (bad fingers, bad!), and the message was informing you of how many replacements were made. My sympathies and best wishes for finding and undoing the changes.
