Open a document

Know how you can open various files and documents in FrameMaker. Understand how to troubleshoot unavailable fonts.

In addition to FrameMaker documents, you can also open text files, files in MIF (Maker Interchange Format), files in MML (Maker Markup Language), and XML and SGML documents. If the required filter is installed, you can also open files created in other applications, such as Microsoft® Word. Much of the file’s formatting is retained when you open the file.

Note: To open files created using FrameMaker 7 or earlier, you must save them as MIF files.
