I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
While MIF is a wonderful format for an ASCII description of a FM file,
it's really not intended for human consumption. First off, it's not
linear. Each FM object is defined in a section, and within that section
the objects are declared in reasonably orderly
I'm pretty sure that you'd have to have the ExtendScript open up the
Word doc in FM, then locate the portion you're interested in, copy it to
the clipboard and paste it into the FM file (and close the Word doc
without saving).
A bit clunky, but certainly doable.
You'd need some type of
Thanks Lin.
DITA-FMx can help you get FM files from DITA XML, although it's really
intended as a replacement for the built-in DITA support in FM.
Bjørn .. when you say "convert and publish xml files into FM 12," what
do you mean? Does your client want to convert the XML files into FM
files
Hi Monique...
*If* you're working with DITA and *if* you're using DITA-FMx .. you're
in luck! FMx has an option to do just that (as well as the same for
smart quotes). But I'm thinking that this doesn't help your current
situation. :o
My only remotely useful suggestion would be to create
This is a tricky subject. Definitely not clear cut, especially when it
comes to non-compiled programming languages. Here's a good summary ..

This still doesn't really answer your question about creating a
of a book file with a few .xml files. Is there no

No conversion. Just "install" the structured application you're using on FM9
into FM11. Then you should be able to open the XML files.
Should be able to copy the app files to FM11 in a similar location to where
they are in FM9. Then copy the structure app definition from FM9 to FM11.
hing to do. The way this used to work was to open a DITA map
in FM, then run the "build" command on that file. If you're prompted to
select a file, be sure to choose a valid ditamap file.
Good luck,

Hi Andrey...
You may have better luck asking this question on the framemaker-dita
Yahoo list. Also, providing a bit more information would probably help
as well (in particular, your FM version and OT version).
It's very possible that the OT build scripts have changed enough that

I've got one set of ExtendScript functions that operate on structured
content. It's pretty simplistic may not be anything more than what
you've got already ..
