FM9 broke some keyboard shortcuts but in FM11 they work again. (I skipped over 10, so I don't know about 10.) The only thing is that the first time after opening FM, when you use certain keyboard shortcuts like F9, there is a few second delay. After that it's fine and all of them work, F8, F9,

Fundamentally, unstructured FrameMaker has changed very little. I've opened FM6 in recent versions and had zero problems. New features have been added but old things all work pretty much the same. FM8 switched to Unicode. Anything using the old Zapf Dingbats that was bundled with FM will need to

You can now create all those from FM12 directly; however, the learning curve will be a bit of a shock - the UI changed completely starting in FM9. I think at 7.2 you're over the Unicode barrier already so fonts may or may not be an issue. Some finer control over the publishing (generating) of
