Before you begin importing you will need the following:
If importing from Word documents... | You will need a supported version of Microsoft Word installed on your computer. Refer to Hardware and Software recommendations for installations for details. |
Note: If you don't have Microsoft Word installed, you can save the document as RTF by using another computer that does have Word installed, or by using a Word to RTF converter. The document can then be imported in RTF format. | |
Important: Any review Comments in your Microsoft Word document must be accepted before you can import! If any comments are unaccepted, the import action will fail. | |
If importing from FrameMaker MIF documents... | Only Frame chapter files saved as MIF can be imported; Book files saved as MIF are not supported by the importer. |
Important: From Author-it release 6 the 3rd party component for MIF importing has been updated to MIF2GO version 4, which supports FrameMaker 9 and Asian languages. | |
An open Author-it library: | If this is your first document, then you should start with a new library. Otherwise, open an existing library. |
Files: | The file or files you are going to import, including any linked graphics. |
Available memory: | Importing can use a lot of memory, depending on the nature and complexity of the documents being imported. You may need to restart Author-it, close other applications and perhaps restart Windows to free up memory. |
