Save as RTF?
Murray, We have to maintain Word versions of all chapters on a book for individual content owners to work with after each quarterly printing. After we print the book, we impose a plain vanilla Frame template on the files to eliminate all the design and problems that occur with lists and such. We also run the art folder through a photoshop macro to reduce the resolution to 72 dpi (resolves a lot of the size issue) and relink the art to the new folder. We still have to go through each chapter to check on extraneous returns and anomalies, but it seems to be a good way to get 98% of the way to clean RTF using only Frame's built in capabilities. -bob TIPS Technical Publishing, Inc. pearlrosenberg at nc.rr.com wrote: >Murray, > >I have never gotten save as Microsoft Word Win 6.0/7.0 to work. > >I have gotten save as RTF to work, but the files are HUGE, especially >if they have graphics. > >Pearl Rosenberg >TeleHealth Services > > >- Original Message - >From: Murray Moore >Date: Thursday, March 2, 2006 8:19 am >Subject: Save as RTF? > > >>Version 6.0p405 >>Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 2 >> >>I am trying to convince my manager to buy mif2go. >> >>Does Save as RTF, and Save as Microsoft Word Win 6.0/7.0, ever >>work, under any circumstance? >> >>If yes, what is the procedure? >> >>If no (rhetorical question), why are they in the list of Save >> >> >options? > > >>/\/\ >>Murray >>Mississauga >> >> >> >> >>___ >> >> >>You are currently subscribed to Framers as pearlrosenberg at nc.rr.com. >> >>Send list messages to framers at lists.frameusers.com. >> >>To unsubscribe send a blank email to >>framers-unsubscribe at lists.frameusers.com >>or visit >>http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/pearlrosenberg% >> >> >40nc.rr.com > > >>Send administrative questions to lisa at frameusers.com.

Save as RTF?
I think that you can assume they work for some people all of the time or all people some of the time. But the issue you're raising is actually quality of translation and depth of features. And MIF2Go supports many more nuances that can be exported more correctly. A head-to-head comparison of your more complicated docs should be a good demo. And that's not even exploring MIF2Go's other export abilies.

Save as RTF?
Murray -- The embedded "Save as RTF/MS Word" tool does work , but not reliably. Think of it as the lightweight "starter home" toolkit. It can get most of the job done, but not well and not completely. MIF2Go's RTF engine is a completely separate process, much more robust and very actively maintained. It's a "professional-grade" tool.
