3.3 Creating a Mif2Go conversion project
Mif2Go stores project information in a file that has
the same base name as your FrameMaker document, with extension .prj. This project file is located in
the same directory as your FrameMaker document.
To specify a conversion project, from the document
or book file click one of the two Mif2Go options on the FrameMaker File
menu:
Set Up Mif2Go Export... to
create a new project
Save Using Mif2Go...
to modify or re-run an existing project.
The Mif2Go Choose Project
dialog shown in Figure 3-1
opens.
Figure 3-1 Choose Project dialog

Name
|
Give your project a unique
name, or select an existing project from the list. The default
name for a new project is the base name of your FrameMaker book or document
file. Your project list is kept in a file with extension .prj,
located in the same directory as your FrameMaker files.
|
Path
|
Select or create a project directory for the converted files.
Browse (...) for the directory where
you want Mif2Go to place output files, or create a new directory.
For best results, specify a directory immediately under the directory
where your FrameMaker document is located. If you plan to convert the
same document to several different output types, create a separate project
directory for each.
|
Format
|
Select an output type from the list.
|
Add
|
To add a new project, click Add.
When you click OK, the project is
added to your project list.
|
Modify
|
To change the name, directory, or format of an
existing project, click Modify. When
you click OK, information for the
currently displayed project is changed in your project list.
|
Delete
|
To delete the currently displayed project, click
Delete. When you click OK, all information for the project is removed
from your project list.
|
Huh?
|
To see this information in HTML Help while you
are working, click Huh?
|
OK
|
To save changes you made to the currently displayed
project, Click OK. The Choose
Project dialog is dismissed.
|
Cancel
|
To discard current changes, click Cancel; you lose any additions and changes
you just made. You might want to do this if you accidentally delete the
wrong project, and realize it before you click OK.
|
Proceed with the conversion
What happens after you dismiss the Choose Project dialog depends on whether you
are creating a new conversion project or modifying an existing project:
New project:
|
If this is a new
project (no project configuration file is present in the project directory),
you get a one-time opportunity
to specify set-up options. See §3.4 Choosing project set-up options.
|
Existing project:
|
If this is an existing project (a project configuration
file is already present in the project directory), you must use a text
editor to modify conversion settings.
