A utility that helps you import your Macintosh styled-text files into Adobe's FrameMaker.
(I also do custom work. Need software to do something slightly different? Maybe you're writing a big book, and need to automate part of the editing? To propose a project, write me here.)
Apple's SimpleText is often the most convenient text editor when you're on the Macintosh.
SimpleText doesn't have a lot of features, but at least it launches quickly, letting you quickly jot a thought
or compactly keep records in small files.
But sometimes you need the power of a word processor. Sometimes you need to take a styled-text file and import it into a word processor for fancy handling. That's when you say, "Oh, I wish I'd created this file in FrameMaker instead of SimpleText to begin with, because FrameMaker doesn't understand SimpleText's formatting. Now I'll have to import the file as plain text and redo the formatting by hand."
That's where the "Styled Text to MIF Utility" helps you. It converts the formats for you, preserving all your fonts, sizes, and styles, and many colors too.
Styled Text to MIF Converter is provided in two editions:
As of October 3, 2001, the Styled Text to MIF Converter application (Silver Edition) is available. Macintosh only (since SimpleText is a Macintosh editor). (Licensing and Order Form)
