Laura, is the punctuation jumping on-screen only, or does it print incorrectly as well? Although I don't recall anybody specifically mentioning the effect with punctuation, one possible fix is to make a change to your maker.ini file so that the on-screen display is coordinated with the print output. FrameMaker's original ini setup has this option disabled. It's documented in the ini file itself; here's the blurb: ; Space characters within a line using printer font metrics. ; ; Adobe FrameMaker always uses printer font metrics to calculate where ; linebreaks and pagebreaks occur. However, by default, the relative ; position of each character within a line is displayed on the screen ; using screen font metrics. This "looks" better on the screen but is ; misleading in that the positions of characters within a line on a ; printed page may be different than on a displayed page. In particular, ; if you are trying to position a graphic relative to a character in a ; line, you should change this setting to "On" which results in the ; the use of printer font metrics when displaying lines. ; DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=On = = = = = = = Re your printing problems, please tell us what printer you are printing on, which printer driver you're using (is it the Adobe driver that comes on the FM CD, or ??) and what kind of graphics you're printing.
