Framemaker 10 crashes when changing conditional text display setting - solved, kind of

[rebecca officer]

Hi everyone
 
We've found workarounds (yay). Basically, it looks like the files were too complex for FM's liking. Two things to avoid:

1. multi-page tables with conditioned rows
2. a large amount of conditional text on the first page of a file, immediately following an imported TOC inset.

That second thing could've been because hiding the conditional text removed page 2 of the doc, or it could've been just because the conditioned text immediately followed the TOC. We couldn't tell.

We've got plenty of files that have both these things and don't crash, so they're not a guarantee of disaster. But changing one or both of them stops our sick files crashing.
 
Cheers
Rebecca
