combining different FM documents into one file

[David Spreadbury]

I guess you could do it with text insets, but that wouldn't have been my first choice. If all of the content is already in FrameMaker and you are looking to create a new book with components from different versions of Frame, I would convert each piece to one version, presumably the latest version you are using, and then build a new book.

It all depends on the answer to my first statement "I think a little more information would be helpful in trying to assist in solving your problem." Couple with that, what are you trying to do and with what tools?

I think a little more information would be helpful in trying to assist in solving your problem.

Are you just trying to add Frame files from different versions to a new book of another version?

If that is the case, I would open each of the files in the target, hopefully the newest, version and get them converted first.
Then, either create a new book file or add them to an existing book file.
Run an update, to check for missing hyperlinks.
I would then recommend trying to print the new book. This will let you know if there are any missing illustrations.

Hi,


Does anyone know of an easy way to combine different FM documents into one file?


Thanks,
