Save FrameMaker 10 files to be read in Word

[LGLists]

I've not looked in FM 10, but .rtf is probably still Save As option. My past
experience, though, was that save as rtf took forever for just a single
file.
 
I use Mif2Go to convert drafts to rtf for my clients to mark up in Word. I
works well and fast for a whole book. Lots of graphics slow it down some,
but still it's just a few minutes for an entire book.

Subject: Save FrameMaker 10 files to be read in Word



I've been told in the past that it's possible to export a FrameMaker file or
book as a Word file. My client isn't very comfortable doing mark-ups on the
PDFs I've been supplying him and he would rather work on a Word file so that
he can edit the text and I can copy the edits back into Frame. I would
rather he worked in PDF but he's the client so I have go with his request if
possible.

 

I've looked at the Save As options but I can't see anything there that will
allow me to save as Word. I've tried saving as XML and then opening in Word
and I just get a tag or structure view so that doesn't seem to work.
(Unfortunately I don't have anything more recent than Office 2003. The later
version is on my shopping list but times is hard at the moment.)

 

I need a solution that is easy for my client. I'm sure there are XML viewers
and all sorts of things out there but I need a solution that my client is
likely to have already. Any ideas?

 

I'm using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 pro, 64 bit.
