Save FrameMaker 8.0 files to 6.0

2010-07-06 Thread Clara Hall
I am doing some freelance work in FrameMaker. One of the requirements is that the work be done in FM 6.0. I am currently working with FM 8.0. Is there a way to develop in 8.0 and then somehow save the files to be compatible to 6.0. Maybe saving them as a mif files? Would that work? Also,

Hi All, Another way to get the graphics involves using Word 2007. 1. Create a copy of the file saving it using the .docx extension. 2. Go to the folder where you saved the docx. 3. Change the file extension from .docx to .zip. For example, sample.docx would become sample.zip.

Save FrameMaker 8.0 files to 6.0

2010-07-06 Thread LW White
Hi Clara, Yes, if you save the files as .mif files or .rtf files, they should be openable in Frame 6.0, but perhaps not pristine, due to the large version gap. Any post-6.0 functionality will be lost, so you'll need to be careful not to use any of that functionality. As for where to get a

Hello all. If you open the document and let the substitution happen, then check the console to get the missing name, do a character format search for that font in the document. It should appear greyed(grayed)out. Then you can remove the offending characters and that should permanently fix the
