[Framers] Frame 2017 Export to Word

[Shmuel Wolfson]

You can save as RTF, which opens directly in Word. You can then do a 
save as in Word if you want .docx format.

I use this so when an engineer wants a Word file for commenting. There 
are numerous formatting issues and other issues with the exported files, 
but they are good enough for adding comments (with tracked changes).

I would not recommend using the exported files in any other way.
