Hello Framers, Mike said: Would be nice if I could set the default save format to, mif. I replied that this could be done with ExtendScript, which is built into FrameMaker 10 and above. I wrote a script like this and posted it on my blog. Please enjoy the free script and let me know if you have

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

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
