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.
