A LOT. Frame 9 seems to crash on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis. Others in my department haven’t experienced this behavior, but don’t use conditional text like I do. The “.recover” files drive me crazy because I always feel I should compare them to the source .fm file, but even FM warns against using .recover files. And of all the times I laboriously made comparisons, I found exactly once when the source doc was missing something in the .recover file.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'>Anyway, I’m not really writing to vent, more to ask if Frame 10 is any better when it comes to conditional text – my brief research leads me to believe 10 fixes a lot of the problems in 9 but introduces new ones. So this may be a case of the known devil… <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'>There’s a possibility we can upgrade soon, but now I’m wondering if we should wait another year (?) till FM 11. Frankly, I lobbied so long and hard to make the move from Word to FM (7.2) but ever since upgrading to 9, I’ve regretted it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'>Parenthetically, we’re also curious about the output to various versions of online help in 10.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'>Any opinions or experiences you care to share will be received with interest and thanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'>~~Gay<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>_____________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Gay Alson<br>Senior Technical Writer<br>Epicor Retail<br><a href="http://www.epicor.com/"><span style='color:blue'>www.epicor.com</span></a><br>Tel.: (514) 428-2116<br>Fax: (514) 426-0824<br></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>E-mail: <a href="mailto:galson@epicor.com"><span style='color:blue'>galson@epicor.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>2800 Trans Canada Highway, Pointe Claire QC H9R 1T1</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br><img border=0 width=83 height=24 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.png@01CCCB06.FC8C30B0" alt="http://support.epicor.com/epicmarcom/sigs/Epicoremail.gif"><br></span><a href="http://www.epicor.com/Industries/Retail/Documents/printpdfinvitation12.pdf" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=317 height=43 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image004.jpg@01CCCB06.FC8C30B0" alt="NRF_retail_sig"></span></a><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></DIV>
