    that's what I tried to do...opened the book and saved as new 2017 document.  so I need to open each chapter in FM11 book and then save them?

    Yes - use the Shift-File command to Open All Files in Book to speed it up. Then you can use the Shift-Save all Open Files after they are upgraded. Remember, maintain a backup of your FM11 source docs because once upgraded, they can't be reverted back to FM11 (except by back-saving as MIF).

    Sorry, what did you try to do? You can open (and upgrade) a FM11 book and its docs to FM2017, but you have to open and save them first.
