Framescript - Open Document

[Stephen O'Brien]

Hi,

FM8 p277 non-structured, FrameScript 5.2R1p219 , XP Sp3.

I am hoping this problem will ring a bell out there.

I have a script that loops through the documents 
(bookcomponents) in an open book, sets certain 
View options (zoom, ruler, text symbols, etc.), 
and saves the documents. Just an all-in-one from 
settings in a dialog box instead of performing 
individual actions using the View menu.

Problem:
Some documents, that I can open onscreen using a 
double-click within a book, or from Windows, when 
processed by the Open command (Framescript) cause 
FM to crash. Some of these documents were created 
by saving an existing document and then stripping 
content in the original and the copy to make 2 different documents.

I have tried saving to MIF and re-importing (did 
no good), in some cases I solved some paragraph 
overrides and the problem disappeared. I still 
have 6 such files from several hundred that cause 
FM to crash. They all have text insets as a 
common factor. And no other problems.

The Open Document command I use is very 
tolerant...does not update text insets, x-refs, 
the documents are hidden to go faster, any 
recovered or autosaved files are NOed, old version is OK, etc.

I appreciate any help/ideas you may offer.

Thank-you.
