Re: [Framers] Book-level conversion of FM 19 to Word
Two other options would be to link your FrameMaker source to RoboHelp, which can generate Word (as well as give you more control over the output formats than you get from the subset of RH functionality included in FM as multi-channel publishing), or to import the FM book in Flare and publish to Word. Flare can do a lot of other useful things, is cheaper than RoboHelp, and has better support. ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

You can export to RTF, but only on a file-by-file basis. It'll keep the styles but you'll still need to do some clean-up because Word.

I used to use DZBatcher.

Re: [Framers] Book-level conversion of FM 19 to Word
Yeah, creating a PDF and exporting it to Word was my first thought. The only problem with that is that you lose all your styles/tags. It'll look the same, but there's no way to easily apply and/or update formatting. Rick Quatro has a script that mass converts to varying FM and MIF outputs. I imagine it would be pretty easy to add RTF as an output format.
