Save FrameMaker 8.0 files to 6.0

[LW White]

Hi Clara,

Yes, if you save the files as .mif files or .rtf files, they should be openable in Frame 6.0, but perhaps not pristine, due to the large version gap. Any post-6.0 functionality will be lost, so you'll need to be careful not to use any of that functionality. As for where to get a copy, that's a tough one. I would suggest e-Bay or craigslist or somewhere like that. It's 8- or 9-year-old software, after all. For kicks, I Googled "FrameMaker 6.0 purchase" and got several promising links.

Good luck,
Leigh

Subject: Save FrameMaker 8.0 files to 6.0

I am doing some freelance work in FrameMaker.  One of the requirements is
that the work be done in FM 6.0.  I am currently working with FM 8.0.  Is
there a way to develop in 8.0 and then somehow save the files to be
compatible to 6.0. Maybe saving them as a mif files?  Would that work?
 
 
 
Also, does anyone know where I could get a copy of FM 6.0?
 
Thank you in advance for your help.
