Hi Lise, In FrameMaker v12, there are two options for saving in MIF format:
MIF 12.0 (*.mif) MIF 7.0 (*.mif) I don't have FrameMaker v8 installed, but I would think you would want files saved in MIF 7.0 format. I do go between FMv10 and FMv12 fairly often and that is the format I use. Hope this helps. ------ Lise wrote: Framers, A little googling did not clarify anything for me, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm on Frame 8; none of the added features in subsequent releases seemed relevant enough to me to justify upgrading (and it works fine for me on Windows 7). The issue I have is that I need to send some manuals out for quote to be translated, and I want to make sure that the files they send back to me, can be opened in Frame 8. (I figured it's better to clarify upfront, rather than chance running into issues later. I have no idea what the translation companies are able to provide, but Murphy dictates that if I don't clarify, I'll run into issues.) Now, I know you can't save a file opened in Frame 12 directly as a Frame 8-compatible file, but it looks like you can save as .mif--can that be opened in Frame 8? According to this thread, https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1379901, there are two different MIF versions? What format do I need to request they return, so that I can open the translated files, once translated? Thanks, Lise ------ ................................................................................................................................................................................................
