The idea is that whenever you perform a save operation, the plugin also saves a MIF version of your file. So you could open a book, hit Save All In Book, and you would have MIFs for all the files in the book. Then save the book, and you have a MIF for that. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'>To easily open the files in Maker 8, you grab a dir with all the MIFs, and any referenced files. Then change the filename extension for all the doc files FROM .mif TO .fm. Then open the book, open all files in book, then save all files in book... For saving the files, you'll have to confirm overwriting the mif files (they all say .fm in their filenames) with binary. It so happens I also have a freeware tool for changing the filename extension. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'>You can find this stuff at cudspan.net... Go into the professional pages, and look for freeware tools. The SafetyMif plugin is in the Maker 11 and 10 sections. The file extension tool is in the Java section. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'>Good luck!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black'>cud<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
