<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Good to know, Mike. Thanks.<br><br>So far I've only used one version that uses the new location, and since we only make limited use of user dictionaries in our FrameMaker docs I hadn't noticed the change. But now I know to watch out if/when I upgrade to a newer version.<br><br>-Fred Ridder<br><br><div>> Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 21:43:56 -0500<br>> From: info@mikewickham.com<br>> To: framers@lists.frameusers.com<br>> Subject: Re: Dictionaries<br>> <br>> FrameMaker changed dictionary locations as of version 9. It now saves <br>> them at the common location of <br>> C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\FMUserDictionary\all\added.txt. <br>> I'm using FM 10, so assume FM 11 is the same. There is no version <br>> structure showing on my computer. I don't believe FM 10 overwrote my FM9 <br>> dictionary way back when, but can't remember. If FM 11 is doing it, it <br>> needs to be reported as a bug.<br>> <br>> As a side note, even though the new dictionary is a .txt file, care is <br>> necessary if you try to edit it directly. I messed mine up one time, <br>> when I edited the file and the editor saved it with carriage return and <br>> linefeed (CR LF) line endings. This caused failure as FM expects this <br>> file to have LFs only! I was able to use Notepad++ to find the problem <br>> and fix it.<br>> <br>> There was a need to convert dictionaries from FM8 to FM9 when the <br>> location/format change happened. Instructions for doing so are at the <br>> bottom of this page (as well as the warning about editing the file <br>> directly):<br>> http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2009/12/dictionaries_in_fm9.html<br>> <br>> Mike Wickham<br>> <br>> On 10/22/2013 7:09 PM, Fred Ridder wrote:<br>> > Every FrameMaker installer I have used (from 5.5.6 through 9 so far) <br>> > has always installed all the files in a separate, version-specific <br>> > folder within the Program Files folder.
