Technical Suite Framemaker missing Publish icon

I downloaded a trial version of the technical suite once on my work PC and again on my personal laptop. For both versions the File\Publish drop-down list does not exist.

The help screen identifies this as the method for creating HTML5 files. The result is I can create a document but can't publish it into any usable format. Your help is appreciated.

Correct answer Jeff_Coatsworth

Re FM - make sure that you've got your preferences set to show "complete" rather than "quick" - are you launching it in unstructured or structured FM? Your menus change depending on which mode it is launched in.

Re RH - it's a program that's certainly more "Word-like" than FM, but neither really do an excellent job of sucking in Word docs without a bunch of tidying up. Generally the process is more successful when the styles in Word are matched by styles in FM or RH.

Should be there – trial version is the same as the regular version. Did you install it with Admin rights?

Hi, yes I installed it with Admin rights. I believe it should be there because it shows it in the help file that that is the required step. Only it is not in the File menu. Impossible to do a screen shot because the menu disappears when you press another key outside the menu. It would be good if was set to persist, but that's another thing.
