> 24 Converting tables to HTML > 24.2 Defining sets of tables > 24.2.1 Determining the TableID
Use this method only for short-lived documents. FrameMaker TableIDs are not necessarily preserved when a document is moved to a different version of FrameMaker, and possibly not even when a new template is applied.
To determine the TableID for a particular table, in FrameMaker do the following:
1. Find the table’s FrameMaker TableID:
1.1. Click in the table heading.
1.2. Without moving the mouse, Shift-click.
1.3. Look
at the FrameMaker status bar; it should show an entry of the form TableID=
nnnnnn
.
2. Find the FileID for the file containing the table:
2.1. Look
in file mif2go.ini
, which is in the same directory
as your document.
2.2. Find
under [FileIDs]
the entry for your FrameMaker
file; these entries are of the form: fmfile=aa
.
3. Combine
Mif2Go FileID and FrameMaker TableID to get the Mif2Go TableID: aannnnnn
.
For example, if the Mif2Go FileID is bb
and the
FrameMaker TableID is 123412
, the Mif2Go TableID would be bb123412
.
See §5.3.1 Understanding how Mif2Go creates identifiers.
