FrameMaker 5.0-5.2, All Platforms

FrameMaker 5.0 released end of 1994, Adobe-branded FrameMaker 5.0 released early 1995

• Spell checker does not locate repeated words when they are not on the same line [Debbi Fortney Correia], or if their capitalization varies.
• “Find Extra Spaces” option only looks for two consecutive spaces (i.e. it does not find instances of three or more spaces)
• Variables and cross-references constitute a word break, so missing spaces are not reported
• Non-breaking hyphens are not treated as hyphens (e+mail will be flagged as a mis-spelling)
• A footnote to a table is allowed to exist alone on a page if the table ends up at the bottom. 
• The sample file includes EPS and WMF files that have a problem with the enclosing frame: WMF — the entire graphic shows past the edge of the frame; EPS — looks okay on screen, but if you print or PDF it, the graphic also shows through. 
• Certain combinations of lengths of running heads, follow-on body text, and column width look terrible 
• Updating a Text Inset Changes the Paragraph Tag of the Next Paragraph in FrameMaker (ATN 315339)
• Hyperlinks in FrameMaker documents or PDF files created from FrameMaker are shorter than expected (ATN 331281)
• Color Definition in a FrameMaker Document Can’t Be Deleted and Has a Strange Name (ATN 323771)
• Change Bars Display Connected Together or Do Not Display in FrameMaker 5 (ATN 316736)
• Anchored Frame Jumps to Next Page in MIF Document in FrameMaker 4-5.x (ATN 313420)
• EPS and PCX Graphics Appear Larger After Converting FrameMaker 4 File to FrameMaker 5 (ATN 313643)
• Hypertext Links Go Only to the First Page of the File After Converting a FrameMaker Book File to PDF (ATN 317911)
• FrameMaker 5 Hypertext Commands Not Supported in Acrobat (ATN 315679)
• Hypertext markers are duplicated randomly in PS output
• Hypertext markers and cross-references in hidden conditional table rows are carried over to PDF as active links.
  Workaround: apply the condition to the text in the table row, in addition to marking the row as conditional.
• Cross-references in text insets are not converted to active links:
  Workarounds: (1) Make a backup of your files; convert the inset(s) to regular text (has to be done in each chapter, but can be automated with add-ons); print to a .ps file. Close the FrameMaker files without saving (if you save by mistake, use the backup), or (2) Use hypertext markers instead, or in addition to the cross-references (so that the cross-references are in charge of retrieving the text, while the hypertext markers add the link); hypertext markers are converted to links even when placed in a text inset.
• Word previously hyphenated is not hyphenated after special spaces (thin, en, em, figure or non-breaking spaces) are added before, after or inside word .
• Table Continuation Variable Doesn’t Show in Long Table Titles in FrameMaker.
  Workarounds: insert a line break (Shift+Enter) before the Table Continuation variable; use a shorter word (“Cont.”)
