RE: Frame 9 save as to open in Frame 8?

Hi Lise, FrameMaker 9 has an option to save to FrameMaker 8. Or, you can have them save as .MIF, as well. I have a FrameScript script that can save a whole book or folder as FrameMaker 8 at once. If they are interested in this script, please have them contact me off list. Thanks. Rick Quatro

Hi Bertrand... Sorry for the delayed reply .. I just noticed your email in my inbox. The default FM9 DITA support doesn't provide any special handling of bookmap toc elements. Your only viable option is to add the TOC to the book after you've built it and then update it. Our DITA-FMx 1.1
