All I was trying to say was IF you have a Word template with paragraph styles that...

- Have the same style names as your FrameMaker paragraph styles

-- AND --

- More or less resemble the layout of your FrameMaker paragraph styles

...THEN you can export a FrameMaker document to Word a bit more easily than otherwise; Word will generally apply the named styles from its parallel template (although Word is erratic in applying paragraph styles, just as it is erratic in so many other ways...)

The corollary of the parallel templates for exporting to Word strategy is that importing named-paragraph content from Word back into FrameMaker works much better because FrameMaker reapplies named those identically named paragraph styles properly.

One problem is that Word users -- even those who ought to know better -- are unwilling or unable to use named paragraph styles. Unless you can enforce Word template usage, you'll still need to struggle with a variety of ad hoc'ed Word content, all named Normal.

I haven't used Mif2go since I don't exchange content to or from Word very often. Thus I don't really need to acqquire a tool for that task.

Cheers & hope this helps,
