It occurs to me that FrameMaker's Word export has reportedly been much

That's what I've been telling you. You're using 5.5.6, a release
that's 23 years old this month. Of course it can't import a lot of

FM 5.5.6 was released in November 1998. Do you have some old
FrameMaker projects with image files of the same vintage?
If so, see if you can reproduce the import error with any of them. If
you can't, that strongly suggests that you're trying to import images

I suspect the main reason Adobe did not discontinue FrameMaker 20
years ago and has continued to sell it is the significant revenue
streams from large customers such as Boeing who built complex
toolchains using structured FrameMaker and the Framemaker development
kit.
The current $360 annual subscription price is lower than the old
annual maintenance charge, which was 50% of the cost for a new
license.

One alternative to upgrading would be to get an older copy of RoboHelp
of the same vintage as your copy of FrameMaker and link your FM
projects to RH. Then you can publish to PDF with FM and to web help or
whatever with RH.
http://lauriston.com/fm10_link_to_rh9.zip
Another alternative is
You get upgrades and updates so long as you subscribe. There's tech
support by phone, chat, or email, for what it's worth.
Multi-channel publishing to HTML5 etc. is via a subset of RoboHelp
features, similar to the way publishing to PDF is a subset of Acrobat
Pro features. It's not as

I wrote software reviews for Nextworld back in those days, and I don't
