FM abruptly closes with no save

[Shuttleworth, Roger]

Yes, that happened to me last week too. I was resizing an anchored frame. Also 7.1 on XP SP2. It just quit. Suddenly it was there, then it wasn't. No
message. I thought my eyes had gone funny...

I have been experiencing the same problem as Christopher. I am running
FrameMaker 7.1 on Windows XP. (And Christopher, I am not a newbie--I
have been using Fm for well over 10 years.)

The last time FM crashed in this way, I had just imported an image
(gif), reduced the size, and was adjusting the frame with the bottom
center handle.

You might try saving the powerpoint image as a png / bmp / gif, and then
do
a import file. 
What version of FM, & what platform?

I've been learning FM in the middle of a project, and it sometimes seems
a bit ornery. I'm inserting graphics linked from a Powerpoint file.
First I do Special > Anchored Frame, and set "Top of column". Then I
paste the graphic into the frame. Twice today, after I have done this
process 5 or 10 times, I perform the first step and suddenly FM closes
without saving. Since contemporary software usually includes a Newbie
Detector Module to make things more exciting for the beginner, maybe
someone could suggest a way to make myself less obvious to the NDM.
Thanks.
