Yup. Updating Java fixed this. My Char Palette is now back where it
belongs.

 

I would never have figured this out on my own.

 

Thanks, Georg.

Georg:

 

The only changes are that I:

 

*         installed Acrobat X trial and broke my ability to create
FrameMaker PDFs

*         uninstalled Acrobat X and reinstalled Acrobat 9

*         uninstalled and reinstalled FM9 (and all patches) and
everything worked fine again. FYI: I did not uninstall my FM9
preferences.

 

Until I tried to access the Char Palette, everything was working fine.
No glitches or unexplained occurrences.

 

I don't have TOOLBOX or Finalyser and as the Char Palette served my
limited requirements well, I just want it back.

 

As you say the Char Palette is a Java Palette, I just checked the Oracle
website and I was behind in Java updates. I'm installing the update now
and hopefully that will fix my problem. 

 

Fingers crossed.

 

Thanks, Alison

Hi Alison,

 

the hex input or Character Palette is a Java Palette.

Are any changes happened on your machine?

 

Do you know the Character Palette coming with TOOLBOX (for FM9)

or Finalyser (since FrameMaker 10), these are customizable,clearly and
very easy to use.

There are User Palette:   or some Font palette like this:  

Since Finalyser 0049 compatible with any Unicode Font and automatically
mapped.

 

More information, see online help:

Your Question:

 

FM 9 Version: 9.0p255

Unstructured

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit

 

I recently had to reinstall FM (and all patches) and now File >
Utilities > Character Palette... no longer appears (nothing happens when
I select Hex Input... either) 

 

I have no idea where to start to make these options reappear.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Alison
