FrameMaker 8 and Plugins

[John Sgammato]

I called Adobe Sales, and after some other business asked that question.
He put me on hold while he consulted with the Support group. Considering
how big Adobe is, it is certainly possible that there are multiple
Support groups with different information. 

Do you know if you can convert a book from Fm7 to FM8, update it, then
save it as FM7 and port it successfully to ePublisher Pro? That would
remove a stopper for me!

The SaveAs dialog includes FM7.0 as an export option, and it seems to
work for me. Did Adobe Support really say that?
