Subject: [Framers] FrameMaker to CHM Problems

I need some help converting FrameMaker to CHM online help. I used to use 
Mif2Go, but I recently upgraded to FM 2015, and I'd prefer to use the built-in 
publish to CHM option. I've also seen discussions on the list as to whether 
Mif2Go works with FM 2015.

When I publish a book as CHM, I have the following problems:
1. When I double-click the CHM, the help window opens to a small size and it 
opens to the last page in the book.
2. The cover, which is in a separate FM chapter, is missing.

>>>
AJ: It should pick the first page in the book if it has some content, please 
contact tech support if it is not working for you.
<<<

3. In the CHM's TOC, the appendixes are inside the last chapter, meaning they 
are treated like Heading 2's.
>>>
AJ: If Book has TOC then FM generate TOC as per Book TOC.
<<<

4. Is there any way to change the font in the resulting CHM?
>>>
AJ: Yes, you can. You need to override the styles in output setting, please 
right click on 'Microsoft HTML Help' and choose edit and provide new CSS with 
different font in override style option, you can get the current output CSS 
either by decompiling CHM or you can generate Responsive HTML5 output to get 
the CSS inside book folder.
<<<

5. Can I use conditional text to hide something in the CHM?
>>>
AJ: Yes, you can, you can show/hide conditions by Applying the Conditional 
expression and then publish. 
<<<

Does anyone know if they got Mif2Go to work with FM 2015?
Does anyone have a recommendation for someone we could pay to help me with this 
if I can't figure it all out myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
