SOLVED: RE: can corrupted FM doc be opened in some other way?
Ha! Like a dog worrying a squirrel in a woodpile, I tried importing the corrupt file into a blank FM document. That worked! I am saved. Friday is beginning to look better. Thanks everyone.

RE: can corrupted FM doc be opened in some other way?
The Heroic Open results in a less dramatic "Framemaker has to close" shutdown, but a crash nevertheless. Carol At 11:07 AM 9/6/2013, Kathy Visger wrote: Have you tried the heroic open? Esc+O+H.
