save as... FM 8 Mif

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I can confirm this.
Our translator had not upgraded his Trados software for some years
as the next Trados release had changed the way of working drastically.
However, his old version could open only MIF 8 files. Changing <MIFFile 10.0>
 to <MIFFile 8.0> in a text editor in the first line of a MIF 10 file did not work.
As I had not uninstalled FrameMaker 8 when I installed FrameMaker 10
I was able to open MIF 10 files with FrameMaker 8 and save them as MIF.

Now our translator upgraded. No problems with MIF 10.

Best regards

Winfried
