Art, Richard:
I have read a good portion of the user guide and am fascinated by
Mif2Go, but it seems to require so much set-up for my project that it
would have blown the production schedule. Two weeks of trials last
year did not produce the results I needed.
I will check that reference pages are applied across all, could have
missed one.
Why do I have one giant file in this project? Because I can. In the
past I've done it both ways, and both have converted just fine.
Broken up, it's harder to manage last page/first page copy breaks
(there are no ends of chapters, it all flows together). Combined, you
do have to wait for the app to chug thru it. (When Frame was a Mac
app, that was never an issue.)
Much thanks,
Karen

Or, try cutting your massive file into more, smaller files and see if that
helps. I'm guessing it may be a resource issue and either your system or
Frame is choking on the big file.....
I'll second both of Art's suggestions. Especially if you need only
simple HTML, Mif2Go may come pretty close out of the box, with very
little tweaking / learning curve needed.
But whether you try Mif2Go or stick with FM's HTML mapping, I'd
strongly suggest rethinking that one humongous file. Why would you
divide 50 pages up among 8 files and then put 600 pages in one file?
You're just asking for resource issues, and it's just not necessary,
no matter how your book is organized. Break that file up into more
manageable pieces.
Oh, by the way -- you did import your updated reference pages from
the first file to all the other files, including the big one, right?
