Mif2go mystifying failure

[David Spreadbury]

Nancy,
Jeremy's suggestion is a good one. Create a separate directory tree with no spaces in any folder or file names, source files or graphics.

All of my help files are create in that fashion and I have only found one small issue, happens to be with CHMs, but it has a very easy workaround.

I do disagree with installing Frame at the root level. The default install puts it in Program Files\Adobe\Frame...

I have 7.2 and 8 installed at defaults and have never experienced an issue with Mif2Go.

But it was still under "Documents and Settings", I gather...
which means spaces are still there.

Not so far; I renamed "Documents and Settings" to "docs".
But it's better not to use those paths AT ALL; just make
new dirs at the top level of C:, or D: if possible, and
put your files under those.

I don't use "Program Files" either, always install Frame
in one like C:\Frame8, for example.  Much safer.
