We've made that process a *lot* easier with the latest Mif2Go
upgrade, 44.  We added an item to the File menu, "Wash via MIF",
which does just what you want... without disturbing any other
MIF file you might have present.  It will also "wash" a whole
book in one shot, including the .book file itself.  And it's
really fast, a few seconds tops for most files.

It works fine from the demo version of Mif2Go, and we approve 
of commercial use of this feature with the demo, so it costs 
nothing to add it to your toolkit.  Download and install the 
(unlimited) demo from:

We're going to add more free goodies like this (and runfm.exe)
regularly.  It's not just for the season.  ;-)

IIRC, when Frame checks cross-references, it checks them all,
including those in hidden conditional text.  But if the xref
source is hidden, it reports the xref as unresolved.  It's 
best to use Show All when checking (or rechecking) xrefs.
