[Framers] Frame 2017 Export to Word

[A Craig]

But you're still using Word - which I find highly unreliable, especially for larger docs. And Word doesn't handle images nearly as well as Frame, especially if you're using icons in instructions.

What kind of price tag for SmartDocs?

Agreed on using SmartDocs. It's Snapshots feature for managing conditional text and variables in a document is far superior to Word's as is its snippet management.
