I assume the files have an .fm file extension, right? It's "easy" to check whether they are FM files. All you need to do is to look at the first line of the binary file. If you were on UNIX, all it would take is "head -1 filename.fm". Perhaps you can force the file to open in WordPad or Emacs and tell us what the first printable characters are? All FM files should start with "<MakerFile X.YZ>" where "X.YZ" indicates the FM version. -- /Thomas Michanek, FrameMaker/UNIX/MIF expert http://go.to/framers/
