Re: [Framers] Mif wash .book files

To open a MIF file in FM​ as plain text, press and hold Shift (or Ctrl) when choosing Open, then choose Text in the dialog box that appears. (Working from long-unused human memory experience.) See: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/8.0/help.html?content=Chap2-FrameMaker-Basics_099.html

Never use Notepad !! Its saves without BOMsee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark And that distroyes the file. Use Notepad++ instead. Am 17.11.2016 um 18:42 schrieb Jack DeLand: I never trust Notepad. Notepad++ is a free programming editor, very nice. You'll love it! Jack

Re: [Framers] Mif wash .book files

Are you able to open the MIF file *before* you make your deletions? If so, I'd have to guess that something is happening in the MIF editing that is not kosher and is, in fact, corrupting the file. Have you tried using any other text editor besides Notepad? It would be good to eliminate that
