[Framers] Frame vs InDesign

[Peter Gold]

Good suggestion, Robert!

However, dtptools' mif filter retains as much of the FM page layout as
possible, in addition to format names. Where FM format and object
properties aren't supported by ID, they are simulated to look as much alike
as possible. If content is reflowed in ID, the simulations crumble like the
sets SNL's classic *Star Trek* skit.

mif filter conversions require a per-page fee. Dtptools used to sell
licenses and also offered bulk-conversion services. It's worth checking
their current offerings.
