What is a MDI File Type?

MDI files are opened and created with Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI), which is included with Office XP, 2003 and 2007. Microsoft has stopped d' include in Office 2010 MODI, so you can not open MDI files in Office 2010. Save created documents in the .TIF format allows better compatibility with d' other programs.

Microsoft provides the tool MDI to TIFF File Converter, which is a command @-@line that can be used to convert MDI files to .TIFF files. You can also convert MDI files using MDI Converter or Bugysoft MDI2DOC.
