Question

FrameMaker 10 missing toolbars in Windows 7

I use Parallels on a MacBook Pro to run Windows. Yesterday I finally got around to installing Windows 7 (patched up to date) and then Frame 10 (with update) on it, but there appears to be one problem so far: Three of the four toolbars offered by Frame 10 in WIndows XP are missing in Windows 7.  Win XP has quick access, paragraph, text, and graphics; while in Windows 7 the only one offered is quick access.  Menus are set to "complete".  The one I care about is the graphics toolbar.

Anyone else see this or know of a fix? Thanks.

    Hi Tim,

    please open the View Menu, there are the following Menu items:
    Quick Access, Pods,  ... then you can decide what Quick Access Panel or Pod you want to open.

    Note: Save your decision as your Workspace.

    Tim,

    the online help says: »To display the Tools panel, choose Graphics > Tools or View > Toolbars > Graphics Toolbar.« And that is what I see with FM10 on Win7/64 inside Parallels.

    Do you have none of the options or does the toolbar just not appear?

    There is ... well, was ... only the one item.

    BUT ... I got it back, as well as the others! I pressed the shortcuts to show the missing toolbars, and now all of them are there, but in a different order than usual. So I'm good to go. Thanks.

    Tim,

    Your screenshot shows the Window menu, which is supposed to show the visible stuff only. To activate a toolbar you would go to the View menu or in this case the Graphics menu.

    You might ask: Why are there so many options to access the one thing? My answer: I don’t know. .

    PS: If you re-install FrameMaker, never do so from DVD, always copy the installer to disk first.
