Thread: FRAMEMAKER (MIF) & WinAlign

Does anybody have any experience in alignment of source and target text coming from MIF files? If so, is it pretty similar to the job needed for a simple DOC or RTF file? Thx!

I would suggest you to create TagEditor files from the MIF file with S-Tagger, then you can start the alignment.

Thanks Vizconde! I did an experiment and realized that with the S-Tagger you end up with an RTF.TTX version of the file. In any case, it's different from what I had been told: to somewhat turn the MIF files into RTF to process them through Workbench.
At least, and with the RTF.TTX files I still have the chance to use TagEditor which might help preserve much more the formatting of the source file. I am still scared about some potential hazards, but I will try to test it and let you guys know about the outcome of this experiment.

I appreciate your help and the fact of being generous so as to share your knowledge making always valuable contributions to this forum. Thanks!

Thank you for your words.

yes gentle

you can set the STagger for either rft, or ttx.

so, you would do the alignment as with any rtf file, I don´t think you can do it directly from the mif files...
