Annoying FrameMaker Question

[Michael O'Neill]

Stuart, Carla

Thank you both for your suggestions (sorry if I missed anyone else!).
It didn't look like Modified FrameMaker Utilities Carla suggested would
work with my version of FrameMaker.

At Stuart's suggestion, I tried ResourceHacker and within minutes
managed to modify and test the dialog in question. 

Wow.  What a powerful tool!

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions.

-Michael

Hi Michael,

I've used ResourceHacker to modify a number of Frame's irritatingly 
undersized, tiny-fonted dialog boxes.  Handle with care, but you should 
be able to fix your problem with it.  The file you want to BACKUP!! 
before modifying is fmdlg.dll in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.0\fminit\

(There are lots of other source URLs, just google it.)

best,

If it makes things work more easily, why isn't it called lubrican?
