FrameMaker 8 to a Newer Version

[Robert Lauriston]

Oh, I missed that you're using structured FrameMaker. That does have templates.

If the plugins were broken by the switch from FM6 to FM8, post the
names of the plugins. Some might appear in the menu, others you might
identify only by looking in the fminit\plugins directory.

It's possible your company has a custom setup that's not compatible
with FM8 or any later version.
