[Framers] Inserting element in FrameMaker 2015 XML Author mode (Author View)

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Linda...

That popup only displays when you're in an element that can't have 
another of the same elements as the next element (following sibling). 
When you're testing on different computers are you testing in the exact 
same situation? Pressing ENTER at the end of a <p> will just give you 
another <p> (no popup), but pressing ENTER at the end of a <title> 
should give you the popup. I'm not aware of a configuration that will 
turn that on or off (might be one though).

Personally, I never use the popup. I always have the Element Catalog 
open and use that for inserting new elements.

Hope that helps!
