Question

My master pages have disappeared from the View menu in Frame Maker and I can't get to them. View does show body pages and reference pages.

Master pages went missing from my FrameMaker 12 setup about 4 days ago. I can see body and references pages. I have tried reinstalling. The master pages are missing from all of my FrameMaker documents, absolutely all of them. I have done two new installations of FM 12, no fix.

Does the old shortcut still work? [Esc, v, M plus its close kin Esc, v, R for Reference pages and Esc, v, B for Body pages – all case-sensitive]

Also, does "missing" mean you select View master pages and get a blank screen? while double-checking the view shortcuts, I discovered this can be replicated by turning off borders [Esc, v, b] in Master page view … if you happen to be using a Master page layout with no header or footer. But I have also, occasionally, ended up with blank master pages even when they should have had content. It's a mystery.

If the Master page can be seen using the keyboard shortcut that Niels suggests, then try a different Workspace. The menu items are tied in to the current Workspace and the Review workspace doesn't have the Master pages listed on the View menu.

What's your setting for View> Menus? Complete or Quick?

I checked my documents, and View > Menus > Complete is the answer. Nothing is set to Quick. All are set to View > Menus > Complete. Thank you for that question. It was something I could check out.
