Hi,

I have read various posts about the difficulties converting from Framemaker to word and I hope that I don't have to investigate a third party.

I have tried to export my entire book to word- impossible. So, what I ended up doing was saving each chapter as an RTF and then converting that to word. Now, I have all my various chapters in word but, they are all so large. Should I just delete all my graphics and re-import them. Likewise my tables (which I will have to re-create??) Surely Framemaker can't be this impossible with compatibility? Going from Framemaker to word is becoming a huge headached- unless I am missing a feature that does work.

This process is very time consuming and frustrating. My document 150 + manual is text heavy and graphic heavy. I am using Framemaker 8 and the Technical Communication Suite.

Any help would be appreciated as I am about to loose all faiith in Frammaker completely.
