Question

Saving FM10 books as HTML

Hi, my FrameMaker 10 (v 10.0.1.402, unstructured, on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1) wouldn't save books as HTML. It quits. The message says "Internal Error 100014, 7686536, 7686826, 10069773. FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit."

The feature works perfectly for individual documents, but not for books. Please advise. Thanks!

    Must be another Fm 10 bug.

    My advice: don't use Save as HTML, XML or RTF in Fm. Use MIF2Go instead. You can download a free trial version here:

    Well, I am really counting on FrameMaker's single-source features. My primary output is .pdf, but for some products I need .txt, .doc or .html as well.

    The .txt feature is also working just for single files, not for books, so I need to save the book as .html and then go through another tool (htmlastext), to get the .txt version. This was frustrating enough... but now, I can't even save as .html

    Well, I wouldn't count on FrameMaker for that type of "single-sourcing". I call this "multichannel publishing", i.e. saving or "publishing" your FrameMaker files in several output formats (PDF, txt, doc, html, xml...). You can do some quite sophisticated single sourcing in FrameMaker, using variables, text insets and conditional text, but the "Save as txt, html or doc" just isn't good enough in Fm. Believe me, the MIF2Go is VERY good value for money and well worth the $295:

    Hi again,

    I also have problems when saving a book as XML. FrameMaker quits, but at least the .xml file is saved where I wanted it.

    Does anyone have a clue, what's happening with this Save as HTML/XML "feature"?

    Thank you.
