The government template I was given shows it as AA, BB... and around the
53rd appendix, it would begin again as AAA, BBB, etc. If we're
following that logic.

Hi Joy,
You'll need a special AppendixTitleExtended format. You'll want to use
something generally like this:

That will get you up to appendix 52. Let's pray that is enough.

One of the [7.2] FM files in a large book is no longer displaying
information in the Structure View. Any ideas to get that back?

Hello,
I am trying to use Framescript to accelerate conversion of a set of mif
files into fm files.
There is a script in FrameScript called DirSaveAsMif.fsl, but it saves into
mif. Does anyone knows how to modify it in order to convert mif files into
fm?
Thank you for helping
Anton
Anton,
Have you tried just opening the mif in Frame? No extra tools are needed, mif
is native to Frame.

Hello David,
I know that I can open the mif file in Frame. But for each file, I have to
do a Save As and then choose FM as file type, and possibly change also the
extension from mif to fm.

Anton,
I just experimented with a few Frame files, saved out as mif. I renamed the
mif to fm and opened them in Frame, without issues. Depending on how many
mif files you want to save as Frame, you can either do it manually or get
one of many freeware file renaming tools to rename your mif to fm.
Joy has the right idea using the Chapter Number variable and <$chapnum>
building block because, internally, FrameMaker knows what "number" each
chapter is. So, once you get above chapter 26, then you switch your Chapter
Number Style to Text and put in the desired value (AA, BB, CC, etc.). Using
<$c
Search Google for DZbatcher, from DataZone.com or dobatch from
cudspan. Both free, both do what the FrameMaker UNIX utility fmbatch
does.

If all you are doing is renaming the file, then just open a Command Prompt
window, go to the directory and do a "rename *.mif *.fm" and that will handle
them all.
Of course, make a backup of the files into another directory first! :)

I also looked at the DZBatcher utility. It looks like it will do exactly
what you want. All it would take is to build a little batch file to open and
save all of your mif files as Frame files.

I feel your pain. Many government workers and lawyers do not know how
to count.
The way that FM counts beyond Z is correct: AA, AB,... . But AA,
BB, ... is not, however there is little that can be done about once it

Hi,
I use the [i]-frame modules from itl:
http://www.i-frame.itl.info/en/feature-description/i-frame-modules/translation-pack.html
One of these modules provides this feature.
Very handy. But not free, therefore possibly
not what you want.
