Hi, With update 4 on Windows 10, I'm getting a hard crash during certain processing that I did not get with update 3 (or any previous version of FM). Is it safe to download and install update 3 to verify? This crash is happening during a period of heavy, customized processing by plugins, so it is not easy to describe when it happens. These things are hard to track down. I'd just like to find out if update 4 is the cause. Russ

My TOC is not behaving as expected I am getting the lead ins between the wron separators. I am seeing it on inbetween the <$paranum> and <$paratext> instead of between the <$paratext. and <$pagenum> I set it up with a R tabstop at 6.396" .... and it shows properly on my ref page but does not format properly on the body pages all three paragraph styles are the same Module v 2.2 (TOC) Section v 2.2 (TOC) and SubSection v 2.2 (TOC) so I am not sure why it is not showing like this:Module 1: "Title".......................................................................... 1Section 1.1 "Title"......................................................................... 3 Subsection 1.1.1 "Title" ............................................................... 5   Per all the tutorials and Matt Sullivan's tutorial I am doing it correctly but for some reason it is not showing properly.. What am I missing?      

Hello I am using FM 2019. I've created a standalone LOT and LOF file, but they are not inherting the numbering from the previous chapter.  I've tried to manually adjust the pagination so that it recognizes the page number of the previous chapter of the book via Format->Document->Numbering->Page->Continue Numbering from previous page in book.  It doesn't work. Help? Thank you!

Hello. In our application we set printer to our internal PostScript driver and print FM files to PostScript. This works well but sometimes we got dialog with "The font information for your system has been changed".This stops our operations and user needs to click OK to continue the process. Is there a way how to suppress this dialog in FDK or by some FM settings? Thanks.

Glyphs palette is not working in adobe FrameMaker 2017 the glyph palette won't stay open and will not allow me to select fonts and then closes.

I am having issues with indexterm elements in DITA 1.3. Apparently and in general, one should use the prolog to place his/her indexterm elements. FrameMaker lets me do that but after publishing the ditamap, my index page is empty! Now if I place the indexterms in the body of for instance paragraph elements, the indexes appear properly. But I am worried it is going to cause problems lateron in translation.

Greetings;I have headings that have character or number in square box. ( For example  )I couldn't find the exact symbol in character palette. After then I tried to insert character or number in text box in anchored frame. It worked. But when I update the TOC or index, I can't see text box in TOC. Is there any other procedure to write box around the character or number and to put it in TOC or index? Is there any suggestion to solve this problem? 

Hi,   I am trying to write new structured application.  I have 2705 cgm files in SGML folder. How can I show cgm notation in structapps.fm file?   Thank you for all help.   Mehmet 

Dear all, I'm really desperateIn Windows 7 two months ago everything worked without such problems. W7 (now w10,1909) is on the first partition (C:); most programs (including FMs) are on H: (ESTK is on C, it can not be placed elsewhere). All partitions are on SSD, machine has 2.5 GHz.Have now installed, re-installed FM-15.0.4.751 and ESTK-4 at least 3 times, but ESTK does not behave at all. Other FMs (12, 13, 14)  provide the same  misbehaviour for ESTK:3 minute MP4 video : time from start. Watch out for cursor shape and window title colourFM-15 is open and ready to receive the script output0:03 Select FM-15 as target0:11 Only now a now action is possible0:19 Select the script file, it is open immediately0:26 Click to start script0:32 Script did its work, Hour glass and title "Not Responding"0:47 ESTK window whites0:48 Window title inactive (no colour), still no action possible0:54 Click to start script again, but it does not work1:00 ESTK window whites1:07 Window title i

While working with xml files (in my case DITA topic), I would like to refresh the WYSIWYG view to the actual look of the output files. A cumbersome way would be to close and open the xml file. Is there a shortcut to refresh the view in a smarter (easier) way?

There are several places in my document that I have blank space that shouldn't be there I cant find any page breaks or any reason why the Note:Repeat steps for ..... should fit on the previous page niether paaragraph style is attached to the previous or next paragraphs. I turned on text symbols to see if I could find any rouge carriage returns or any other reasons that there would be so much blank space. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thank you.   

Hi!As stated above, I am working with FM2019 and I have a .book file (originally .ditamap saved as FM composite document 2019 and then made into book by inserting a Standalone TOC > a new book). Now, when I have the book open in FM the punctuation inside "note" paragraph tag looks fine. It also looks fine when publishing into Responsive HTML5. Or when using the publishing tool to publish PDF (However, I'd rather not use that, since it brings more and bigger problems atm. that just when saving the book as PDF).Anyhow, in the saved PDF periods appear as commas, commas appear as asterisk, and brackets are either facing the wrong direction or they appear as braces. Those are atleast some I've spotted. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you!

FM11 / DITA 1.2I decided a while back that I would make all of my tables as wide as my pages for consistency in output. I have some tables that are a bit narrower, so I went into the XML files and resized them. When I open the files again (and on output), I find that the tables have reverted to their original widths. In some cases, this wrecks the text and causes breaks in weird places. The only way I've been able to fix this so far is to make a new table. Why won't the changed table widths stay changed?

I have a document with five conditional tags, where each tag is a different version of a product -- let's say the tags are A, B, C, D, and E for products A, B, C, D, and E.   I recently learned that Product D will be discontinued, so I've deleted all of the D-specific text, and I've also removed the tag from any text that it shares with the other products.   Now I want to delete the "D" conditional tag completely. I've selected the tag in the Conditional Tags pod, clicked Delete, and then clicked OK. The "D" tag is removed ... but so is the "E" tag.   This looks like a bug to me, but I'm a newbie -- perhaps I made a mistake when creating the "E" tag (which I added after adding the D tag). Is this a known issue? I've searched the posts here and can't find any reports of the same problem.   Thanks!

Just need a simple answer to a seemingly simple question. Appreciate any input. Thanks

I have an entire manual with a lot imported svg files. And every single one of them change scaling when I save the framemaker document to 2017, or even mif 2019! Is this something I should have known when I made the project believing svg would work as intended or even merely work? Is there a fix somehow?   

Running Frame 2017 here, Version: 14.0.4.511. When I click File > Publish > Change Settings button > Open, the dialog displays as normal.  But when I click any button or field on the dialog, the dialog disappears.  The Settings file currently selected for use is C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2017\fminit\Publisher\Default.sts.  We normally use a customized STS file in a different location.  This problem prevents me from using a different STS file. Another, bigger issue is when I try to edit the STS file.  If I click File > Publish > Change Settings button > Edit, the dialog displays as normal, but when I click anywhere in the dialog, not only does the dialot disappear, but Frame locks up and becomes completely unresponsive.  The only way to get out of this is to right-click the Taskbar icon and select Close Window. Is there a way to fix this short of doing the Uninstall/Reinstall thing? Th

I am having an issue with a document where the text is not continuing to the next page. I am using a template that I created. I have converted (from Word) several documetns already that did not have this problem so I am not sure what I changed or what I doing differently from the previous documents. When importing the document did not work I copied and pasted from the Word document just in case that was the issue but that did not work either. I do not see any other text frames that might cause this either. 

I have customized my DITA topic 1.3 using specialized edd and dtd in order to add new elements under highlights domain. Standalone, it works as expected: I can use the created elements in my xml files etc. and the WYSYWYG is perfect. However, when I create a book out of my ditamaps using publish-> PDF, those changes are ignored/overwritten, if and only if I toggle "Generate flat Book hierarchy" check-box under DITA options. And I need to use this option to get the flow of my book straight. Does somebody know why this option ignores my changes and how to get both options, i.e. "Generate flat Book hierarchy " and the newly added elements work together peacefully? 

I am using FrameMaker 2019.Page 257 of the "Developing Structured Applications" Guide (2015) covers the use of OR indicators within a specification for a Context Rule.I have attempted to make use of this with the following:This appears to work OK when All the (Action | Command) tests finds all Action elements or all Command elements.Action                        Action                              Action                                             ActionOrCommand         &nbs

When I publish a FrameMaker unstructured manual to Responsive HTML5 using the Publish pod, the output has a navigation structure with extra levels that aren't really needed (shown in yellow below). How do I turn these off?

Hello fellows, I see that in FM2019, exactly like in FM2015, event-driven scripts do not fire automatically in Autorun mode. To make them run, I still need to select a script in the Scripts window and click run. Is there anything that can be done about it, except for filing a bug and waiting for the best? 😉   Thanks, Roman

I think I broke something and need help figuring out how to fix it. I'm new to FrameMaker so I'm hoping this is an easy fix. My document has 14 chapters plus two appendices. The chapters all follow the same basic master page (with room for 1.25-inch side head), while the appendices don't have a side head. At some point, I went to copy a new paragraph style from one chapter to all the other chapters, but I inadvertently copied all of the formats ... from one of my appendices. Now all of my chapters have lost the side-head master page (along with the chapter-specific headers and footers). I re-created the master page for one of my chapters and went to re-apply it to all of the other chapters, but I'm now getting the error message, "No master pages applied because the MasterPageMaps table contains no mapping information." I get this message in two situations: If I try to apply the master page at the book level, to all of my chapters.In one instance, where I re-created the m
