Framemaker v11 Books unable to clear all change bars from documents

I have converted all Framemaker v10 documents to v11 by opening and saving. However when opening the Book v11 for these documents and applying the 'clear all change bars' option a book error log message advises that the documents cannot be opened as they are in a previous version! When performing the same function on the individual documents outside of the Book this works fine. But unable to clear all change bars within a book when selecting all the files in one go. Is there a bug with Books in v11?

Which version of FM11 are you using? There have been a couple of patches that you have apply in order.

My version is FM11.0.0.380 so I will install the patches. I did open all documents up from within the book and then individually saved them, then i applied the 'clear all change bars' and this worked. It just does not seem right that you can clear the change bars from the documents from outside the book but when you try it from within the book it says cannot open document as it was created with a previous version. I have managed to get it working but would be good to know if it is a book bug or not. I will try it on another Book when I have upgraded to the latest patch.

You can use the shift-key modifier in the FM book to save all files at once, instead of having to individually save them.
