Sorry, I cannot help. Am only able to commiserate that it's happened to me when I global search on a particular paragraph tag and, once found, I attempt to replace the selection with a text entry. Result: Crash with Adobe error message/number to e-mail. ---------- From: Jay Smith[SMTP:jay@jaysmith.com] Sent: Saturday, October 24, 1998 20:29 To: Frame List; framers@omsys.com Subject: Help! Find/Replace crashing FM553 Win95 It's late at night and I don't have time for this "stuff". Win95 FM553 In Find/Replace: Find text: "string " (is "XXXS ") Replace text: *nothing* There are perhaps 100 occurrences in the document. I have tried making other text strings -- it doesn't seem to make a difference what the text content is. It also does NOT matter if the text is plain or superscripted (see below). You can Find/Change perhaps 2-3 dozen times before it crashes. If you try to do Change All In Document, it crashes immediately. The crash takes down FM, but the PC is okay. It generates an error file to send to Adobe. I have not seen this mentioned before. Did I miss it? ALTERNATIVES?? Assuming that there is no workaround other than FM 556, my goal is: The original document is in WordPerfect 8. I am trying to capture the superscript information in such a way that I can apply the superscripts in FM using a Character Tag. In WP8, I use their find/replace to find SuperscriptOn, position before it, and put in a unique string ("string "). I do other stuff too and then import into FM. Then in FM, I capture the character tag with Copy Special. I Find "string *\>" (wildcards on) and replace By Pasting. All that DOES work great! Then, I am simply trying to get rid of the string, by replacing it with nothing -- that is when it dies. Any ideas of an alternative approach. Am I being stupid? -- Jay Smith e-mail: jay@jaysmith.com ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
