DataViz's fine product MacLink Plus Translators does a fine job converting
Frame MIFs (3.0) to Word, Word Perfect, or whatever other wordprocessor you
have in mind. I don't know what it might do to embedded graphics, however.

You can get this product from MacWarehouse or other such discounters for
under
$100.00. Use it in good health!
