Thanks Rick. I'm not a developer, but there's plenty of them around where I am. 
That could be a solution.

Thanks again

Hi Brian,

There is no registry or preference setting for this, but it is fairly easy to 
do it with ExtendScript, which is built into FrameMaker 10 and higher.
This blog posts outlines the process for saving as MIF, but it could be easily 
modified to automatically save a 2017 file down to 2015.

This is also a companion video at

Please let me know if you need help with this. Thanks.

Rick

Subject: [Framers] Changing default save as

Hi,
The team I work with are all using FrameMaker 2015, but during the course of 
this year, we'll all move to Fm 2017. The timing will be governed by the expiry 
of the 2015 licences, they vary quite a bit across the team, so we need a way 
to keep our files in the 2015 format until we've all converted.
Yes, we can save as 2015, but that would be labourious considering how many 
times these files will be saved.
Is there a way to have Fm 2017 save by default as 2015. I've looked in the
2015 maker.ini file for a setting, but there doesn't seem to be anything there. 
Is there somewhere else, maybe a registry setting? I'm sure that this issue has 
been faced before, so how do teams get around this obstacle?
Thanks,

Brian Shaw
