Import by Reference Question/Bug ?

Tue Aug 18 12:33:53 PDT 2009

I still have my copy of MIF2Go, I just don't know if there were any changes over the years, and the menu option is not there. But I will do the Save as Mif from Framemaker and see if that addresses the problem.

No, SaveAs MIF and the Omsys Wash As MIF menu entry do the same thing.
Only difference is that SaveAs takes a couple manual steps and the menu is a single click.
