Subject: FM8 crashing like it's Word

FM 8 on PC, Windows Vista, 32 bit system, 2.38 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM.

And Frame is crashing WAY too often. In files it SHOULD be able to handle nimbly.

Today, e.g., the only FM files open were two document files, both under 200 KB, no books or generated files. CRASH.

There was a 23 MB PowerPoint 2007 (.pptx) file also open, but still, come ON---this is FRAME here.

Is this a Frame-Vista matter, and if so , does it get better in FM 9 or 10?

Apart from a few random crashes with Frame 9, the only crashes I've had were on a large chapter with many tables in it. Doing a regular "Save As" rather than "Save " seemed to help matters (this is what I also used to do when using Word many years ago for product doc).
