This "feature" isn't working. This isn't a feature request. I change the settings in the workspace that I have saved to show the used items first in every catalog, then save it again, overwriting the old one, and it reverts every catalog to "show all". This is some sort of bug. I'm really tired of setting up my workspace over and over again, and having this eventually corrupt that workspace. Restarting doesn't solve it. I did just find that resetting the workspace seems to solve this problem, at least after having redone those changes and resaved it. ... View more

FM 2015 autodetected the dpi. It's sad that they took this out. If I had a graphic at 96, it was set to that. If I had a graphic at 300, it set to that. FM 2019 lacks this and it bogs down my work. I'm really unsure why they took this out. I'm like Bob. I find the defaulting to 72 dpi to be a problem. I have no graphics at 72 dpi. The quality would be atrocious. At least FM does show changes to an image. I liked that about RoboHelp. I'm frankly annoyed at not being able to work in RoboHelp, but my boss has decided to change to MadCap Flare, because of the plethora of issues with FrameMaker. I cannot wait to be able to work in the html again! ... View more

Yes. Clearly all of the people in this post who have said they are having the same problem have the same environment that I do, which is corrupting their preference file at installation. Keep telling yourself that. Few people will consider this as annoying enough to be bothered. As soon as I "fixed" this, I had another issue with the workspaces. But, clearly, it's not your product. It's my environment. ... View more

I'm thinking I might need to go through my IT dept. I'm also having issues with MS Teams statuses. A tech just told me that how they set things up on their end could influence this stuff. There are no *.dmp files at all, so I cannot send them. I renamed the preference file 15, and that solved it. I would be ashamed to produce a product that installs corrupted. Now I have to redo my entire workspace AGAIN. The problem is, however, solved. Fix your download files or whatever is creating corrupted preference files starting at installation. Frankly, I'm disgusted that this is the first thing you experience after install. It doesn't bode well for using the program. There are a ton of other issues, but they are carried over from older version. Graphics being cut-off, no matter how large you leave the outer frame. I'm pushing now for a different program. This is the wrong one for creating what we are creating. ... View more

This started at install, so why am I renaming folders?? It is absolutely up-to-date. Is your download corrupted? The first time that it creates the preference file, it corrupts it?? I cannot see how renaming a freshly created preference folder is relevant. I installed this thing and this was the very first thing it started doing. ... View more

This isn't just a Word problem. This is an Acrobat problem. I created a document in FrameMaker 2019 and have the exact same issue. It doesn't matter who opens it after it's renamed, it retains the original name. Adobe should fix this, rather than requiring people to open the document in the original program to rename it. This isn't a Word issue. So where is this happening? All other documents allow renaming in Windows. One must assume that it has to do with the pdf file type. I'd be fascinated to know if other pdf read/write programs have this issue, or if this is Adobe specific. This makes my job less convenient, since I have to rename this three times in my workflow. All I can do is assign the final name that I want, and rename in between, so that when I assign the final name, it is the name that shows in the Reader/Acrobat. ... View more

Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies. The .png thing is helpful, but I only use .tif files. I'll look at them anyhow. Jeff, I don't appreciate companies trying to force me to buy new software, which is often even buggier than the older versions. So sad that companies don't strive for bug-free software, rather than continuing to build-in new functions that might not even be needed. I've worked in software development long enough to know that there are few applications that are bug-free, but they do exist. They existed more frequently, when we had less complicated code and better educated developers, coupled with proper testing teams. Companies are constantly cutting corners, and people like you just except the sub-standard result, so they continue. ... View more

Hi Stefan, Yes, I have a use case for using the old HTML. That really should be obvious. I'm not doing it for fun. Thank you for the instructions. It's very helpful, since no one in their right mind would think of the steps that are required in this application to accomplish such things. I sometimes feel that the old unix command line applications were 20 times simpler than even the most modern version of FrameMaker. The draw-back of any GUI-based application is that you're limited by what the programmers offer you in the GUI, and one often has the impression that the devs don't use their own applications. I assume you mean using the Web Help? The one whose table of contents has the Foreword as the only initial folder, and has nested everything else inside of that? I don't have my front cover, yet, and the Foreword is the first thing in the ToC, but the front cover won't appear there either. I'm frankly tired of messing with FM. I want my RoboHelp back. I have no use case that requires FM. It's just one of those, "That's what we've always used" type of things. We're going to look at using ePub instead (we'll see if that pans-out, and how that handles), but having set anything in the HTML settings not only messed up the links, but also causes FM to constantly ask me to add styles that I don't want in my documents. It's highly annoying. Cheers! Heather Ceana Craig ... View more

THREE years!! That's the excuse? I have 2019 full version. I don't have time to google where everything got hidden away. I'm under a HUGE deadline, so I kept the 2015 for the moment.

I tried this. I now have a tab stop at 0.502, and cannot edit it. If I try, it blinks in and out again, returning to the previous value. It exists, but cannot be edited. So, I'm just throwing darts at my document now, hoping that the tab stop lands precisely where I want it. ... View more

19-Apr-2016 was when you posted to wait for a patch. It's not February 2019. I'm having the exact same issue. My FM 2015 is completely up-to-date. All of my documents were created in FM 2015. This is a huge book! I wanted to create a new style as follows: Bullet Indent First 0.25" Left: 0.5" Now, that should set my text to the distance of 0.5" from the left edge, or? It doesn't. So, I try to add a tab stop for 0.5". It adds and disappears in the blink-of-an-eye. Okay. Maybe that's not allowed. I try to add a tab stop 0.6". Same effect. Now you see it; now you don't. I even tried adding 1.1". No dice. Same effect. I've closed FM and re-opened. I've even re-booted my system. So, I'm unsure why the "Left:" doesn't set the distance of my text from the bullet, and I cannot add the needed tab stop. I've encountered the issue with the text distance requiring a tab stop over and over again. It's illogical for me. Perhaps I've misunderstood the "Left:" function. Your work-around is interesting, but why hasn't Adobe addressed this in almost 3 years?? ... View more

Hi Barb, Thanks for the information. I want to be able to fix the menus on the right side, like they are in 2015. I think I cannot. I was also trying to create a new paragraph style, and discovered that, after having conditioned myself to the old method, FM now has it the way I thought it should have been. So, old dog and new tricks. (I jsut saw that you used the same analogy. LOL) Cheers! Heather Ceana ... View more

It turns out that I was working in 2015. Having 2019 installed at the same time caused crashes a few months ago, so I uninstalled 2019. I find 2019 so difficult to work with, that I'm uninstalling it again, and sticking with 2015. I'm wasting a lot of time googling how to change, create, and find various things. Also, I've got my right side set-up perfectly in 2015. I don't like the pop-out effects in 2019. If I can help it, I will not be upgrading - only if my boss insists. Thank you all for your attempt to help, but I think I've figured out what the problem is. Cheers! ... View more
