Hi, Lynn! Short answers to some of your questions: Yes, opening the docs in v9 is all you have to do and save as you normally do. However, you can only backsave to v8 from v9. We have run into this problem several times, having to find someone one on v8 to then backsave to v7.
Hope that helps!

We're all running Win XP. Please forgive my lack of knowledge, but do we open our v7.1 FM files in v9 and then save them as v9? Or is it more complicated than that? Once our FM files are saved as v9, can any users still using v7.1 still read them (there's a chance our counterpart US office won't get the upgrade to v9)? Or would we need to save back as v7 for those rare occasions? Are there any known issues with doing this? We currently using WebWorks (WebWorks > AutoMap 2003 Client within FM menu) to produce CHM files. Will this be affected if we upgrade to v9? When you buy a v9 licence, do you automatically get all the patches that are released? Any other tips for upgrading? Can anyone confirm that v7.1 is no longer supported by Adobe? Thanks very much in advance for your help, Lynn _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as kristy.nolan at wnco.com.
