3.3 Setting up a Mif2Go
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 folder 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 (see Figure 1-2
FrameMaker File menu with Mif2Go installed
on page 55):
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
a new project a unique name, or select an existing project
from the list. The default name for a new project is the name of your
FrameMaker book or document file, without extension. Your project list
is kept in a file with extension .prj, located
in the same folder as your FrameMaker files.
|
Path
|
Select
a project folder for
the converted files. Browse (...)
for the folder where you want Mif2Go to place output
files, or create a new folder.
Although the default project
folder for a new project is the folder where your FrameMaker document
is located, we strongly recommend you specify a different folder. If
you plan to convert the same FrameMaker document to several different
output formats that require different settings for the same conversion
options, create a separate project folder for each, to avoid overwriting
a configuration file.
|
Format
|
Select
an output format.
If you select an HTML format, Mif2Go will present you
with a configuration file to edit in Notepad, so you can specify conversion
options.
|
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, folder,
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
WinHelp 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 delete 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 configuration file is present in the project folder), you
get a one-time opportunity
to specify set-up options. See §3.4 Choosing project set-up
options.
|
Existing
project:
|
If this is not a new project
(a configuration file is already present in the project folder), use
a text editor to modify existing conversion settings. See §3.5 Specifying conversion
settings.
