  Does anyone know if there is a way to copy the Save as HTML settings
from one unstructured FM10 file to another? I don’t want to go through
the whole procedure again for every document!

I don't have FM10, but I thought I'd investigate for you in FM 8.

My basic notion was "save source as MIF, find its HTML Output settings,
and copy them over the target file (also saved as MIF)."

From what I can tell, then HTML settings are "baked into" every Pgf
Format that has relevant settings (ex: page break at heading levels X;
indent levels of list pgf formats, etc.). So you'd either have to find
each added line in the Pgf formatting in the source MIF and add it to
the target MIF (at the appropriate point in the markup)... or just redo
them in the FM GUI.

My big question: could you use a common template, set the HTML settings
on the template, then import the relevant elements (pgf, char, tables,
footnotes) to any doc that needs it? Perhaps your styles are not
consistent between source and target docs? If so... you gotta do the GUI
setup for each differently-styled doc, ideally in a template from which
you can import formats to any/all affected docs with the same styles.

Good luck!
