RE: Jumps back when scrolling

[Peter Boyd <pboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fred, Sorry I put your post on mine.

I actually have Frame 7.0 on Windows 2000.

I think I solved the problem though (which I probably should have identified
sooner)...The problem: I put a small text frame on top of a graphic anchored
frame with callout type text in it. I then grouped everything. That little
text frame, even though it was grouped, had no Flow settings and as such
seemed to route the view, when scrolling, back to page 1. So I ungrouped,
got rid of the text frame on top of the graphic and used the "Draw a Text
Line" tool to create the callout text on top of the graphic. Then regrouped.
Now the scroll works fine.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't know why my reply on the Screen display driver thread was 
included with your query...

You don't indicate what version of FrameMaker you are using, but
I'm guessing that it must be 5.5.x, since this bug was supposed
to have been fixed as of FM6.0.  What you have described sounds 
like the infamous "scrollback bug", which you can read all about 
at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/1a1fe.htm 
The bug relates to the use of graphics that are set to have 
"runaround" text, which I seem to recall was the default in 
FM5.5.6. There are several approaches to dealing with this:
- update to a newer version of FrameMaker
- don't use runaround
- buy Rick Quatro's inexpensive plug-in for the problem (see
    http://www.frameexpert.com for more info)

When scrolling through an fm document the first time after opening it, it
jumps back to the first page of the document mid way through. I have seen
this post before but cannot find it now. Can someone forward it to me or
provide an explanation? I think it has something to do with proximity of
graphic frame to text frame.

Thanks

It's not in the menus. It's in the maker.ini file. About half-way down, in
the 
"Font Options" section, you'll find an item called
DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics.
The default value for this is Off. Setting it to On makes for a screen
display
that is more accurate in terms of line length, but less accurate in terms of

letter shapes (and therefore slightly harder to read).

Hi;

I seem to remember that we can set the Frame WYSYWIG to either screen font
display or printer font display.  The kerning metrics work a little bit
differently, and the printer may be a better bet.  But I have completely
forgotten how to do this, and my search through the menus reveals no such
choice.

Senility?  Too much sun??

Help please!
