Error in FM when creating an output in Webworks

Hi,

When I try to generate an output in webworks, I get these messages. I don't really know how this could've happened, the framemaker files were on a network which I saved to my computer. Then I added them to the webworks project. I had my fm docs open and when I was creating the output, this message came and had to close framemaker, so now I have recovery files of all my framemaker documents. Even when framemaker is closed, it opens and displays this message. In Webworks, I get the error saying error opening fm file, cannot create wif document for fm file.

What are these errors and how can I fix them?

Thanks

Lynn

    I'd make sure that I'm totally patched in FM9 (p255 I believe); update my FM books and close them. Then try pulling them into Webworks (n.b. - I'm not a WW user, so I'm unsure of the procedure, but these errors are all about FM, nothing to do with WW)

    Thanks for your quick reply!

    How do I make sure I am patched in FM9?
    Also, I am afraid if I update my FM books, that might cause formatting problems or other problems, I have many many files and it'll be near to impossible to go through all of them manually and fix.

    Check Help > About FM – it will scroll up the version. Try using Help > Updates to update your system if you’re out of date.

    Updating your FM books before trying to use them elsewhere will only help you identify issues present within your books (like broken xrefs, show/hide settings, color defs, etc.) . It won’t change formatting - your FM content needs to be clean before being used elsewhere – I use RH within the TCS and that’s always the case.
