The "Display text from a marker" needs to be updated to reflect the 8 markers now available in FM11.

Arnis, whatever you are responding to here is visible to the rest of world only as a Subject line, and no question detail.

@Error7103 - that's because when you make a comment or suggestion in the FM help, it gets echoed to the forum now; you should have seen 2 e-mails - one cryptic one with a page reference and the other with the comment - they usually arrive out of order

> ... when you make a comment or suggestion in the FM help, it gets echoed to the forum now ...

So the forum is going to get polluted with mysterious no-question "replies" that are actually just useful editorial comments in Help ...

... and Help is going to get polluted with actual or (as here) unnecessary discussions about these mystery threads, plus the normal topic drift that afflicts a material percentage of internet discussions.

Well, until Adobe figures out this web stuff, we probably need to footnote any Help remarks with ...

I think they changed it last year because they were finding that people were finding the help pages and then asking questions that really should have been posted in the forums, but they were unaware that they existed. So they changed it so that it echoes into the forum where kind soul like you & I will steer them in the right direction ;>)

This is a &(%(^&*@!!! modification (automatically mirroring to the Forums), that all moderators were dead set against. Unfortunately, it's the "(un)official" way to let the documentation teams know where fixes need to be done [as they are (theortically) supposed to be following the Comments in the online Help].

The other dumb thing about the implementation is that if I delete this from the Forums, it also is automatically deleted from the Help Comments - a perfect Catch-22.
