Jo's original follow up post was saying that she WANTS the single file, but
can't get it... not the other way around. So the problem would be why she
can't get the default behaviour.

Hi,
My company is considering upgrading our FrameMaker from 7.1p114 to 9
(yippee, we've never upgraded before!).
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
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!
Lynn,
I haven't upgraded to FM9, yet. It might happen in the near future though.
In all the upgrades I have done with FrameMaker in the past, to get your
documents updated just open and save. Everything should work just fine.
As far as those members of your team that are staying on an earlier

The most important one would be HOW the translation vendor was able to
generate any kind of TOC. Part of the deal is usually that you receive
working files back from the vendor, and it certainly sounds as if you
didn't. So

Thanks again for walking me through the process to resolve my TOC issues.

Hi Scott,
I will try your advice about unwrapping the root element and see if
that works, although this won't be a satisfactory solution for the
authors. Please let me know when you release a new version of

Hi Jakob...
I've updated StructureSnippets to support plain text nodes and will
release an updated version in a couple weeks after a bit more testing.
I'll send the FM9 version to you directly for testing.
