Round-trip revisions via MS Word. Alternate methods?

[Art Campbell]

Before you try Flare, do MIF2Go -- like a number of other writers in the
thread have said, it's the best way to export from FM to RTF.

Flare is a decent tool, but if all you need to do is reliably round trip
and you have the rest of your editorial flow working well in Frame... the
conversion is unlikely to be worth the time and effort.

And if the SMEs don't do too much damage during the re-write, it should be
a pretty easy round trip.
