Re: [Framers] Framemaker 2017 save backwards

Personally I'd ask Adobe for another license for FM12 so the new hire could be on the same version as everyone else until you all upgrade. If you save as MIF, choose MIF 2017. When importing MIF, older versions of FrameMaker will simply ignore any newer tags they don't recognize. Saving as MIF

Re: [Framers] saveAs Mif Re: Framemaker 2017 save backwards

I've actually got an ExtendScript that saves to MIF8, MIF10, MIF11, and MIF12, as well as to FM8, 10, and 11. I think it's based on one of the example scripts Rick shared a few years back, although I've expanded it to additional MIF formats. It adds a drop-down to the menu bar that works with both

[Framers] saveAs Mif Re: Framemaker 2017 save backwards

Just do a SaveAs Mif. Don't use SaveAs Mif7. SaveAs Mif will save to the current version being used. Opening in your older version will just discard the code that is not interpretable by that version. If you are editing in both version your template is not using new features anyway. You can

Re: [Framers] Framemaker 2017 save backwards

Thanks, Bernard. I wanted to be sure before I document Save as MIF. Hopefully, it won't be long before we are all using the same version. Pat -Original Message- From: Framers [mailto:framers-bounces+pat.christenson=morningstar@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Bernard Aschwanden

Re: [Framers] Framemaker 2017 save backwards

You can save as MIF 7.0 (*.mif) but some functions or content may change on the way out. Best to do a test run. However, you can open with FM12 once you do this. Your mileage may vary though depending on what you have in the files. Bernard -Original Message- From: Framers

I would suggest using a User Variable for the address and add that to the Master Pages. That way, you can update the Variable's Definition and the Master Page content will be updated. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. r...@frameexpert.com 585-366-4017 -Original Message- From: Framers

[Framers] Framemaker 2017 save backwards

Hi - We have a new employee and her FrameMaker license is for 2017. The rest of us are on FM 12 but will be upgrading, although I don't know when. I looked at the 2017 user guide and it says you can save as 2015. It doesn't mention 2012. I just want to verify this with the group before I write

Re: [Framers] Correcting Master Pages in FM10

There's no such thing. FrameMaker doesn't have a template feature. You can import the updated master pages from that file into the other files, provided the master pages are identical. To update something in one place and have the change appear in multiple documents, use text insets. On Wed, Jul

[Framers] Correcting Master Pages in FM10

Hi! I am working in FM10. I have a series of Master Pages that I use for my company's publications. I need to update an address that appears in the text of one of the Master Pages. When I work on a publication that uses that Master Page, I can open the Master Page and make the correction.

Re: [Framers] Document comparison whole book at a time

OK...I'm making progress, but not there yet. It seems that FM will create a file for every file it marks up, with the initials CMP in the file name. I can open that file and view the insertions and deletions. However...it does not create a book with the files. I need to gather up all the CMP

That is indeed what I always do. In fact, in light of the difficulty TCs often have getting input, I do whatever necessary to get comments, I either send a PDF to get write up, which is easiest, if necessary I send word, I give people paper print outs, and some people even send me comments in
