Menu bar missing Format, View, Special, Graphics and Table options for one picky .fm file? The complete menu of options (File, Edit, Format, View, Special, Graphics, Table, CMS, Window and Help) DO appear when viewing most .fm files, but for some reason DO NOT appear with the picky .fm file?

Or just click the golden lock icon on your toolbar. It's a toggle between locked and unlocked, but the icon doesn't change—just the menus do.

It's hard to visualize what you're experiencing. Can you provide a screenshot?

Is the file locked?

Have you renamed your prefs folder to force a new one to be built?

The file is "locked", although the other files I use are also "locked" when using?

It looks like the file is set to View Only (Actually, that's what I meant when I said "Locked")

Try using the Esc, F,l,k shortcut.

To do this, press and release each of the following keys independently:

Escape (Esc)

Uppercase F

Lowercase L

Lowercase K
