Hi,

I am using Adobe FrameMaker 12. My menu items will not display correctly if start the frame maker outside the office network. If I start the FM12 at work and then use it outside the office network them menu items will continue to display correctly.

-Ajay

That looks like the issue that FM12 had with high resolution monitors - it got fixed in newer versions of FM, but you can try a workaround.

Yes I have installed all Patches. I am using it in a single monitor mode(When in office network, menu appear correctly with single monitor or multiple monitor mode). It happens even though, I run only FM12 application. Below is an example of grumple menu.

Hi Ajay:

What do you mean by "not display correctly"? Can you share a screen shot?

This doesn't sound like the issue but it is possible to hide some menu commands. You can try View > Menus > Complete.
