<p>Hello Alison,</p>
<p>I don't know of any direct way of importing or converting within the Adobe products.</p>
<p>But I recently converted some FrameMaker mif files to Indesign with the "Mif Filter"-plugin for Indesign (by dtptools).</p>
<p>After installing the plugin, mifs will be visible in the Indesign "open file" dialog and can be opened (but not saved or otherwise exported), allowing to test the plugin resp. the files for suitability. If you want to convert, i.e. if you want to save as Indesign file(s), you have to buy credits on a per-page basis.</p>
<p>There are some limitations due to conceptual differences between FrameMaker and Indesign layouts, but I found it extremely useful, so you should give it a try.</p>
<p>Make sure you are not using to many local format overrides because each of these will produce new formats like eg. body001, body002, ...<br />So it pays off to prepare the FrameMaker files thoroughly.</p>
