I have had to do this last year.
The way for me was to use the pdf output (very little LaTeX would be
output to dvi anymore) to convert to rtf. Then I brought that into FM.
Figures drawn with MP, epic, etc. were problematic and needed to be
extracted from the pdf with Illustrator. Tables too
Frank... thanks for your helpful thoughts. I suppose I was just hoping there
was some sort of magic out there.
I'll wait until I hear back from the publisher as to just *why* the authors are
insisting on using LaTeX. The OCR route sounds interesting.
The intern would be me :-(

Hi...
I'm not finding any useful documentation on this, so I'll try to tap the
wealth of knowledge on this list. :)
In setting up the reference page for a generated list (for structured
documents), is it possible to grab attribute values to include in the
list? There are building blocks
Hi Steve:
I haven't done a LaTex to FrameMaker conversion since 2003, but I think
I used la2mml (http://tug.org/utilities/texconv/la2mml.html) after

encountered is that FrameMaker doesn't allow you to have a table within

will trial this tomorrow. I've never used MML, so it will be interesting.
I'm kinda' hoping the authors can be persuaded to use something other than

When I update some of my manuals, I get Show/Hide setting for _ is

from the cover page file to the TOC, update the book again, and I still
get the errors. But if I import the conditional text settings from the
TOC to the rest
My experience with those tools was not positive. They are quite old now
and the world of TeX and friends has changed significantly in the past 5
years. They will not be able to understand packages that are in common
use today. Still, give them a go, there's nothing to lose and much to gain.

Hi Fei Min,
Importing conditional text settings from one file to another only affects the
conditions that are present in the source file. So, let's say you have a
condition Condition1 that is present in the TOC, and is set to Hide.
Condition1 is not present in the cover page, so importing
