<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The only time I’ve ever experienced the behavior you are describing is if I had been running FrameMaker with more than one monitor and had some menus (e.g.
Para Designer / Char Designer) displayed off of the main monitor. That is probably not the cause for you.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">What you are experiencing is definitely not normal, with FrameMaker 12. When you first start FrameMaker, if you invoke the paragraph designer via Format menu
or shortcut (Control-m) the menu should simply appear, docked in the right hand side of screen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">FM 12 has a new feature that enables you to save selected files when you quit FrameMaker. When you restart FrameMaker, you can use a “Restore last session”
command: it will open the last documents you saved and even display the same zoom level and the same page that you were on. Pods will be in same display. You can see this in action in a 90 second video that demonstrates this feature at:

<p class="MsoNormal">I was humming along very nicely with one of those tutorials until I hit a major snag. I was supposd to do something with the paragraph designer, and neither the tutorial nor the FM 12 User Guide was very clear on how to get to it. I searched
on my own, and found the menu option Format -> Paragraph -> Designer, which looked like what I should select. So I selected it and -- nothing happened. At least, nothing appeared that I could recognize as the Paragraph Designer. The same thing happened with
the character designer. So either I'm making some kind of error or something's wrong with my copy of FM. I hope it's my error and you can tell me how to correct it.<o:p></o:p></p>
