Used a txt editor to create a MIF file for FM 2020 that will not open in FM. Entire file attached.

Question

In Preferences I have set "Show file translation errors" but nothing appears. See below for the first 25 lines

of the file. Is there something you can see that is wrong?

It opens fine for me with no errors. It is a 30 inch by 20 inch file with no master or body page content. What are you trying to accomplish?

Have you checked the FrameMaker MIF Reference document? Several version of it come up when you google it. It gives you information on how to create them, including not needing to add all of the format catalogs.
