    Are you all patched up? Is the problem happening with any other FM docs that don't contain Illustrator files?

    Hi Jeff,

    When I said that the images are made in the illustrator it was to show that they are light and do not influence the size of the document. This has already happened with images in eps. I read something about the FM2017 having trouble cleaning the clipboard. Anyway, just to temporarily work without the problem appearing at all times I'm doing the following: in a blank document, I put texts and images that I need to eventually copy and paste. This way it works. I put there text boxes for titles, warnings with symbols and text, large text that are repeated throughout the document, etc. Another way, as I said before is to close and open the FM again, but this option seems more laborious. It is then a tip for those who have the problem like mine. In time, my platform is Windows, Core 3 processor with 4GB of RAM. It seems that the problem might even be bug in clearing the clipboard. I have seen nowhere in FM a way to clean it (as it exists in Photoshop, for example).

    Thank you.

    Ok, first, there's no "clear the clipboard" command (AFAIK) in FM. Second, you're going through a lot of hassle to reuse content - don't copy and paste it - use text insets and reference images by reference and put frequently used items on your reference pages to be used when new pages are created based on them. Sounds like you might be starting out using FM - I suggest you pick up a copy of the FM bible - Publishing Fundamentals by Matt R. Sullivan - it, and its successors, are great reference books.
