6.11.5.4 Mapping file names, extension, or location
In most situations, interfile cross references and hypertext links function as active, updatable links in Word with just the default settings for cross references and hypertext links, provided your RTF output file names have both of the following characteristics:
• extension .rtf (see §6.2.3 Specifying output file extension)
• the same base names as the corresponding FrameMaker input files.
However, in the following situations you must specify additional settings to make interfile references work:
• You specified an extension other than .rtf for output files (see §6.2.3 Specifying output file extension).
• You specified names for output files that differ from names of the corresponding input files (see §37.6 Specifying output file paths and names).
• After conversion, the file names or extension will change in a post-processing step; for example, someone will load the output files in Word and then save them for further use with an extension other than .rtf.
For interfile cross references and hypertext links you can specify the following:
To specify the file extension to use in cross references and hypertext links:
; XrefFileSuffix = suffix to use to convert [WordXrefFiles] xrefs
This setting specifies the extension to use in Word INCLUDE fields and HYPERLINK fields when these fields reference a file other than the current file.
If you change the output file extension in a post-Mif2Go step, for example by saving the files as .doc from within Word, specify the final extension you expect the files to have at the time the cross references and hypertext links are used.
To map input-file base names to corresponding output-file base names:
; file name in xref = file name for Word interfile xref
List mappings in the form oldfile=newfile, without file extension.
For some versions of Word, you might have to specify the default document location to be the path to the directory where your converted files are located. From the top menu bar in Word, go to: Tools > Options... > File Locations > Documents.
