Error: Multiple anchors for the same table, frame, or footnote.

[colleenr79979946]

I'm seeking some ideas on how to troubleshoot an error I received in Framemaker 10:

MIF: "(null)" (1053289): Multiple anchors for the same table, frame, or footnote.

MIF: "(null)" (1053289): Multiple anchors for the same table, frame, or footnote.

MIF: "(null)" (1053289): Multiple anchors for the same table, frame, or footnote.

Graphic file can not be replaced with Text file.

From what I can tell of this error....somewhere in the .mif file, FrameMaker is saying that there is more than one frame with the same number.

At least that’s the way I read the error above.

There are no tables or footnotes in the document, so it must be a frame somewhere. Any tips on how to troubleshoot where this might be?  I've scoured the internet for help, with no luck or further understanding.  My file this error occurs in is 1250 pages so it would take a while to go page by page to figure it out.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi,

When did you get this error message? What happened before? What did you do before this message popped up?

Is this a binary FrameMaker file or a MIF file?

What are you allowed to do?

If this is a binary file, can you still save the file as MIF?

If you have a MIF file, I would search for the number in the error message.

Use MIFBrowse for this:

FrameMaker MIFBrowse
