Is it possible save a Frame 11 file in Frame 9 format?

In the Frame 11 Save As dialog, it appears you can only save back to Frame 10.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Save in MIF format to files with .mif filename extensions.

Any earlier version of FM can open them, but will ignore tags not supported in the earlier release (whether such tags are stripped or preserved, I've never tested). If interchange with older versions is your intent, you will of course be avoiding newer features anyway.

There are considerations for interchange between FM7/earlier and FM8/later due to Unicode, and I've seen some dialogs when opening FM4 in FM7 suggesting that exchange may not be trivial with versions prior to FM5.
