Mif2Go Help?

[David Spreadbury]

I would imagine the only way to accomplish this is to combine all of the
Frame chapters into one file and then use Mif2Go to process one RTF file. If
you look through the Mif2Go User's Guide, para 17.2.3 recommends this for
HTML output, when only one HTML file is desired.

You will wind up with one horrendous RTF file, but if that is what you want,
that is what you will get.

As Art pointed out, Word does have a Master Document scheme, but I would
rather go through root canal surgery than use it.

Well, just addressing one of the issues, you need to concatenate the
FM files in some way before you MIF2GO them for the output. (Isn't
there some kind of Word multi-file tool?)

Either create a new "container" file and import each chapter as a text
inset or create a new file and actually copy the content in.

I always do the first; a FrameScript that Rick Quattro has in his
toolbox makes it quick and painless. rick at frameexpert.com
