Dictionaries

[Fred Ridder]

Every FrameMaker installer I have used (from 5.5.6 through 9 so far) has always installed all the files in a separate, version-specific folder within the Program Files folder. I have never had a problem having two or even three different versions installed simultaneously using the default installs. 

Did you uninstall FM9 before installing FM11? Were your user directories saved within the FM9 install directory? If so, the install directory and any custom files within it should have remained exactly where they were as its own branch of your directory tree. Did you use a non-default installation directory for either the FM9 or FM11 installation? I can only see a potential problem if you used the same directory name for both installations and did not use non-default names for your user dictionaries. 

Are you sure the dictionaries are really gone, and not just in a different directory than where the newly installed FM11 expects to find them?

Hi,
We noticed that installing FM11 overwrites user dictionaries that were created in FM9.  I'd expect that a new installation of FM would keep existing dictionaries.  Anyone else experienced this?
