Hi Steve
Very amusing, but only to those observing. I'm sure we all have similar
horror stories. Mine was a 75-page RFP that Sales said has to go out
this afternoon. The future of the known universe depended on it. The
sales guy had fiddled, and it had blown up, so he passed it to me. By
, but to no avail.

I haven't used Flare actively in a year or so... but after several years
daily experience, I'd say:
- Fewer bugs -- nope
- Better conversion -- depends. I use MIF2Go to get to HTML/RTF/XHTML.
Flare isn't better than that. FM 12 is pretty good for exporting. Flare is
adequate or better
company is not responsible for how the Word
content is used.

Hi,
In my company there are also discussions to choose
MadCap Flare as a common authoring tool.
I see different requirements among us. Some need
HTML or CHM, others only PDF.
The arguments from MadCap Flare users here are:
o Less bugs.
o Better conversion to CHM and HTML.
o Better support.

I do not think I have posted this story to this group before, so, as Word is

This really happened: I was there, I watched.
Long time ago, I worked as a contractor for a small but upwardly mobile
company. At that time the staff occupied a single floor of an office block in
Hi Kevin,
If you are using Mif2Go for HTML, you can set it up to output RTF as well.
This should satisfy the MS Word requirement and allow you to stay wit

FM12 has very good output to Microsoft Word.
I use it all the time for internal use.

As I recall, Mif2Go should output pretty darn spiffy Word documents,
although you may have to fiddle with it a bit to get what you want.
Acrobat 10 (I think) and later will save PDFs to Word format, although
everything will be in modified Normal (no style-name information is carried

Have you given Mif2Go a try at converting your Frame docs to Word?You use it
now for HTML, it will also handle Word conversions.

Have you tried MIF2Go's Word output? It worked great for me.
RoboHelp can also convert FrameMaker to Word, but I think MIF2Go is
better. You might also try FrameMaker 12 (you could just use one copy
as a conversion tool).
If your outputs are PDF and Word, I think switching to Flare would

Kevin:
When I absolutely have to provide someone with an RTF or Word version of a
Frame manual, I use BCL easyConverter Desktop (Word Version)
(http://www.pdfonline.com/easyconverter/).
It's $20 and produces better output than the Frame12 to RTF option - although
it's definitely not perfect.

Full Acrobat has Save As options to .docx and doc that are not too bad. You
wouldn't want to try to round-trip docs in and out of FrameMaker using that
kind of workflow, however.

Thank you to everyone who commented on my question. Looks like I may have
been underestimating the Mif2go program I have already!
I did a quick, non-scientific convert to Word comparison two or three years
ago of FrameMaker 11 demo vs. Acrobat save as Word vs. Mif2go, and none of

I'd second John. Current FM output ain't bad, and if you want better,
MIF2Go RTF is really good. I'd stick with FM and upgrade to a non-antique
version (speaking with 4 year's Flare experience) because that conversion
isn't really what Flare does better.
