Upgrading to Frame 9 & Filters

Remember, you can always "try before you buy" with the demo files and the new virtual sandbox that Adobe is providing for those with slow internet connections ;>)

Gay,

If you're moving from 7.2 to 9, then it's a pretty major step. You do have to get used to the new interface, as it is a different way of working. Also many of the old-style keyboard shortcuts do have limitations (such as type-ahead searching for catalog entries only uses the first character to match), that can be quite irritating if you're set in the old-style ways. Having unicode is a big plus, but it also takes some getting used if you been using codepage specific fonts for languages.

The Filters have been improved for reading Word documents. I can't atest to the export ones, as I use mif2go when I Word content from FM. There are a number of additional filters and many of the older formats have been deprecated (i.e. commented out of the maker.ini, but can still be re-activated if needed).
