We've been using captions above but want to go away from them. In our case,
almost all figures have a lead-in paragraph, so using a caption can be very
repetitive and breaks the flow. So we're going to be putting block labels by
the lead-in paragraph and cross-referencing to them. That means peo
D'oh! There it is.
Thank you.

Doug,
A MIF file is an alternative form of a FrameMaker file, functioning like
an INI file for a FrameMaker document. It is an ASCII text file which
contains values describing every element of a FrameMaker FM file, such
as text, formatting values of paragraphs/characters/tables, reference
pointers
Hi,
A FrameMaker binary file saved as MIF will represent the
exact same info as the binary fm format in an ASCII format.
This ASCII foramt is even understandable for humans. You
can create MIF files from scratch with a text editor or a
database application.
MIF files do not need to be full FrameM

Suman,
1. FrameMaker is behaving exactly as it should. When you specify in your
book that all files begin on a Right (or odd) page, then logically, a
Left (or even) page must precede the Right page. You can't go from Odd
to Odd, so FrameMaker inserts the bridging page.
2. Book pagination settings

One possiblity is to set the printer to "B&W" when you print the

Another (and what I do) is let my Printing company do the conversion
