SOLVED: Re: Single MIF for FrameMaker book

2007-09-15 Thread Rick Quatro
It turns out that creating a single FM document for all of the files in the 
book was the best approach. I was able to do this with a FrameScript script, 
and I now have a happy client. Thanks for all of the suggestions. If anyone 
else has this need, please let me know.

So, in reality, the *only* way to create this single MIF is to first
solve the problem of creating a single FM document for all the files
in the book. If that can't be done, or is considered too cumbersome,
then the single MIF file cannot be created either. It's really that
simple since both formats are simply two representations of the same
underlying data structures.


You're absolutely right.  It would be best created using
Frame.  But it would be a very, very expensive Bad Idea.

If the customer still insists on this impossible dream,
I'd send them elsewhere.  Anywhere else.  ;-)
