FrameMaker 9 slow and sometimes unresponsive?

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Nadine...

Regarding the document magnification issue .. this is the situation for 
all XML in FrameMaker. The magnification (as well as other document 
settings) are not saved in the XML, and are reapplied from the template 
each time you open a file. You can open the template file and set the 
magnification as you like, then save it .. and that will be what you get.

I've got a plugin called RestoreWindows that does this for you 
automatically (although it's not been updated for FM9 yet) ..

Also, West Street Consulting has a plugin called Structure Tools that 
includes this same feature ..

Cheers,
