Your FM8 templates should work fine in FM12 and you've already
discovered that some plugins will need updates to work.<br>
<br>
You said you lost your FM8 disk. It probably wouldn't work anyway,
since there was a Windows change that broke it. You can download a
fixed version of the installation file (labeled as "XP SP3 fix")
here:<br>

You would, of course, need your license key to install it. If you've
lost that, you should be able to get it from your My Adobe account.
Otherwise, the free Belarc Advisor can retrieve it for you.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Framers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am presently using structured FrameMaker
version 8 on Windows XP. (And we seem to have lost the
original software disks.) Writing commercial airlines manuals
using a template created for FrameMaker 6. And using SDI
software to create the cgm graphics from eps files.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have not had any problems using the
template but plugins do not work. I have not tried to output
as XML so I don’t know how that will go. I have only been
using FrameMaker for a little over a year and am the only TW
in my company.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My company wants to move me off of XP to
Windows 7. And is looking to upgrade the FrameMaker to either
version 10, 11, or 12. (These are the versions they can find
to buy legal licenses with.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know if there will be any
issues with a template created for FrameMaker 6 running on
these newer versions? Since I am fairly new to FM I don’t
cause myself extra grief.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have opened a file (that I created in FM
8) in a trial version of FM 12 and it looks okay but I don’t
know if there are things going on behind the scenes. Are there
things I should be looking for?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What issues might I have?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help or insight would be greatly
appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your time,<o:p></o:p></p>
