I have a machine with 7.1 and a machine with 9.0. Frame 9 offers a Save As option of?MIF 7.0. I used it on a couple of Frame 9 files, transfered the mif files to the 7.1 machine, and opened the files with no problems. If you are using special characters or fonts outside the normal Unicode set you might have to fix those, but otherwise it seems pretty clean.

To: <framers at lists.frameusers.com> Message-ID: ????????<7FE20DCBBC9CD747A29DF177CD0E002D0C98F427 at VS6.EXCHPROD.USA.NET> Content-Type: text/plain;????????charset="us-ascii" I edit a huge spec with multiple authors (mostly engineers) at multiple companies (spec is vendor-neutral). Currently there are well are over two hundred Frame files (plus other file types) in the several Frame books that make up the spec-and that's just the current version. I work on multiple versions as we develop it, test it, and submit it for ANSI and ISO acceptance. Some companies and individuals are having to convert to FrameMaker 9, but as a group we are still using Frame 7.2 QU: Is there a plug-in (or other approach) for saving FrameMaker 9 files as FrameMaker 7 files? I don't have Frame 9 yet but understand that it doesn't give this option, although Frame 8 did. Currently we are using FrameMaker 7.2 for all spec work (without SP-3 so we can include Visio diagrams by reference), and we don't want to change yet (various reasons). ?If this has already been discussed, I must have missed it.
