Question
I have FM 9 installed.

If i buy the upgrade to 10, is there a way to keep both versions on my computer?

If you don't know the answer, where else could i go to get it?

Thanks.

When I have upgraded from 6 to 7 both copies worked Ok on the same computer.
Framemaker didn't uninstall the previous version before installing the current version.
I would think it would work Ok for you to install Frame 9 and 10 on the same computer. Just install into a different directory.

Expertise

Basic set-up of books, master pages, generation of List of Effective pages (LEP), Indexing, auto-numbering. Various ways to import graphics, including advantages and disadvantages of importing into a text frame or importing into a "blank" page. Using a "book" to generate PDF files, with hyperlinking. Customization of function keys, currently setup for Frame 7.0 i.e. change F1 to turn "Change bar" On and Off, F2 to "Cut" a selection, F3 to copy, F4 to Paste, F6 to set line to "TOP OF PAGE" and Shift F6 to start line "anywhere" these can be easily your current config files and if you do not like them - old config files can be restored. I have no expertise in Structured Framemaker, (i.e. XML or SGML).
