The alternative to making a script, is to use a full-featured text editor like
TextPad. The feature you are looking for is the ability to search and replace
through files in a directory, or open files. Oxygen is another text editor that
can do this.

Sorry .. jumping in late.
You might want to check out our FileTools plugin. It has a Process Files
option that will export all files in a book as the specified file type
(MIF for example), then it will run the specified command line on each
of those files (could specify a Perl or other script)

Thanks for the input.
We in Tech Pubs are all currently using FM 7.0 or 7.2, and would all
upgrade to 9.0. Some other users in the company, such as a few engineers
who use FM, have already received FM 9.0 because they control their own
budgets. This has started to cause some of the problem

None that I'm aware of, not even via MIF.

Our Tech Pubs group is finally on the verge of upgrading from FM 7.0 to
9.0. We will not be buying the full TC4.
First, do you see any problems with just opening our old unstructured
templates and saving them again as the new version? I don't expect there
would be any.

I wouldn't choose FrameScript for that if you're going to write it

Hi Tony,
I don't know what you used before, but I strongly recommend using a *.mif
and something like Notepad 2 to do a Find and Replace All for *.tif to
*.gif. I did this myself a couple of days ago, and it saved me several hours
of changing cross-references manually.
Good luck,

Hi Garnier,
If not only the formatting changed but also the format names
I recommend these tools:
Best value for money is Template Mapper from Cudspan:

A not so convenient alternative would be

I have to agree about the 'FrameMaker 7 - The Complete Reference Book'. It is
still a great resource. Also, you should check out the FrameMaker wiki on the
Scriptorium site. http://wiki.scriptorium.com/tiki-index.php Both of those
resources have helped me tremendously too, and we are using Frame
