Do FM 9 and FM 10 documents round-trip?

Am I right to assume that FM 9 documents open in FM 10?

Would I be foolish to think that FM 10 can save documents in the FM 9 format?

Thanks for hints and help!

Yes, FM10 opens FM9 documents and can save back to FM9 format.

You can save as FM 9 doc or MIF 7 to ensure FM9 backward compatibility.

Did you mean MIF9 (or MIF10, if that's the other choice in FM10)?

Saving as MIF7 is at high risk of stripping features, and moderate risk of Unicode damage.

All I see in the Save As drop down list in my FM10 is:

Document 10.0 (*.fm)

View Only 10.0 (*.fm)

Document 9.0 (*.fm)

MIF 10.0 (*.mif)

MIF 7.0 (*.mif)

Text Only (*.txt)

etc.

No MIF 9
