Re: save as... FM 8 Mif
Latest versions of Trados support all mif versions. Older versions of Trados support older version of Mif. I think that in my sistuation, this agency didn't update Trados tools. Thanks.

RE: save as... FM 8 Mif
Hi, I can confirm this. Our translator had not upgraded his Trados software for some years as the next Trados release had changed the way of working drastically. However, his old version could open only MIF 8 files. Changing to in a text editor in the first line of a MIF 10 file did not work. As I had not uninstalled FrameMaker 8 when I installed FrameMaker 10 I was able to open MIF 10 files with FrameMaker 8 and save them as MIF. Now our translator upgraded. No problems with MIF 10.

RE: save as... FM 8 Mif
My Language Service Provider (LSP) uses Trados and I use FM9 and there are no problems, so this isn't a Trados issue. It's likely an LSP issue - when I moved from MS Word 2003 to FM9, I simply told my LSP that they needed FM9 - which was brand new at the time. They didn't balk in the least. They just upgraded to FM9.

Re: save as... FM 8 Mif
Thanks Nadine, I'm sure that mif 8, 9 and 10 are the same format regarding opening it in previous versions of Framemaker. In my case, however, I need a mif not to open it in FM but to use it in translation workflow in Trados. I'm not expert with Trados, but the agency say me that their specific version of Trados works fine only with mif 8 files.

RE: save as... FM 8 Mif
Thanks, Chris! Based on what I see already, I think I will find the SafetyMIF tool quite useful, I believe! Separate question: I have a version of a document that describes your CUDspan tools, but do not see it on your web site. Is there an updated version that you could provide?

FM 8 Mif It's starting to get weird, how often this subject keeps coming up. First, Maker 10 MIF should not have any problem opening up in Maker 8.

The idea is that whenever you perform a save operation, the plugin also saves a MIF version of your file. So you could open a book, hit Save All In Book, and you would have MIFs for all the files in the book. Then save the book, and you have a MIF for that. To easily open the files in Maker 8, you grab a dir with all the MIFs, and any referenced files. Then change the filename extension for all the doc files FROM .mif TO .fm. Then open the book, open all files in book, then save all files in book... For saving the files, you'll have to confirm overwriting the mif files (they all say .fm in their filenames) with binary. It so happens I also have a freeware tool for changing the filename extension. You can find this stuff at cudspan.net... Go into the professional pages, and look for freeware tools. The SafetyMif plugin is in the Maker 11 and 10 sections. The file extension tool is in the Java section. Good luck! cud ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
