Yeah there is a commercial software program that costs $149 and will
convert just about anything to anything, but that's probally overkill in
this case.

My suggestion is to export your AmiPro doc as something Word can read (RFT
maybe?) Keep in mind that frames are very unique to AmiPro (and probably
its best feature), and I have yet to see ANY translator for AmiPro that can
put them where they belong in the new document type. In almost every case
frame contents are simply dumped on to the end of the translated file.
