Saving MIF file to FM

Many posts on here talk about converting an FM file to MIF and then saving back to FM, in order to clean or fix up a file. I rarely do it, but have done it in the past.

Today, I am having troubles with an old file converted to v7.2. I can save it to MIF, but when I try to save to FM, Frame tells me that MIF cannot be saved to document format. I have encountered this error before, but with book files and just assumed that saving a mif book to standard fm book does not work. But now I cannot do it with a document file. Is there something I need to do in the ini file, or somewhere else.

Or is my Frame install completely corrupted. I have had to kill it several times recently because it gets stuck trying to display a PDF. I thought the problem was with the PDF, but maybe it is with Frame itself.

I have Frame v7.2b144. The operating system is Windows XP v2002, service pack 3.

Thanks,
Van
