Adobe layered a badly designed UI on top in FM9, the new UI broke a lot of things, they never fixed them. They've added some useful features but fundamentally it hasn't changed much since FM8 (which does have Unicode support).<br>> <br>> People are successfully running FM8 on Windows 7, personally I'd try it before switching to a newer version.<br>> <br>> On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 9:53 AM, MacDonald, Helen <hmacdonald@ptitechnologies.com> wrote:<br>> > Hi Framers,<br><br></div> </div></body>
