FM abruptly closes with no save

[Chen, Loretta]

I was going to stay out of this, but it happens to me every day of the
week -- whenever I try to use my mouse and the Framemaker scroll bar
(instead of touchpad scroll or arrows/pg up/down). 

Random crashes. Has nothing to do with graphics. Just reaching
for/moving the scroll bar with a certain velocity.

It happened with 7.1 and I was hoping it'd be fixed by 7.2. but no go. I
searched once for a bug/solution and never saw it mentioned so I figured
it was my machine. But it's been happening for at least a year now even
after I switched machines...

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.
