HELP - Deleting Multiple Master Pages in FrameMaker

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Susan:

Have you tried saving files as MIF, opening in a text editor, then
deleting the unwanted master page definitions C*A*R*E*F*U*L*L*Y,
saving and reopening in FM?

In addition to MIF2GO for converting FM files to MIF, DTP Tools has a
free FM2MIF plug-in that can convert whole directories (and their
subdirectories) of FM files to MIF fast. dtptools.com.
