One inexpensive tool that will do this for you is Mif2Go
(www.omsys.com). There is an evaluation version that you can download
and try before buying, it if works for you.

Subject: Save All Files in Book as Individual HTML Files

Hi all-

For reasons way beyond my control, I need to convert large numbers of
FrameMaker 6 (Windows) documents to HTML files for use in RoboHelp (no
comment). Is there a way to save an entire book as separate HTML files
for each chapter or heading level within the chapters?

I've set up the reference pages in each chapter to start a new HTML file
for each major heading level, and it works great when I save the .fm
file as HTML, but when I save the entire book at once, I get one big
HTML file, which is what I don't want.

I tried using WWP-SE that comes with Frame 6 (no, upgrading to
Professional is not an option -- shame on you for asking -- we're on
Frame 6, fer cryin' out loud!), but that gives undesirable results in
that we lose our paragraph styles in the conversion. We do, however, get
the individual HTML files we want, but it's even more time-consuming to
re-tag the entire document than it is to break up the big book file we
get from FrameMaker.

Is there some step I'm missing, or a fabulous plug-in (no, we don't have
FrameScript, either... *sigh*) that will do what we need?

Thanks for any help on this. I know it's tough to help people who are
using out-of-date tools and have no option to join the real world,
unless it's via a freeware plugin, but have pity! (And laugh quietly so
I can't hear you.)
