<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you to everyone who commented on my question. Looks like I may have been underestimating the Mif2go program I have already!
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I did a quick, non-scientific “convert to Word” comparison two or three years ago of FrameMaker 11 demo vs. Acrobat “save as Word” vs. Mif2go, and none of them really floated my boat at the time. But having
configured Mif2go to generate our online help quite nicely from FrameMaker I did gain a lot of respect for its capabilities. “The book” describing how to use it is a bit daunting though! “Thank you for purchasing a Boeing 747; here are your operating instructions.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m looking for a Word conversion that’s not a Word “house of cards”----I need something that can be editable and won’t frustrate the editor with thousands of extraneous chewing gum formats whose sole purpose
is surface look and not re-usability. The Acrobat save as word output was laughable in that it seemed to duplicate the look of our FrameMaker documents perfectly, but simple things like word wrap from line to line and page to page were apparently not thought
necessary by Adobe. The documents would explode if you actually tried to change anything in Word.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We have a lot of complex graphics in our Frame files: For example, frames containing a screen shot, arrows, text boxes, cross references, etc. (the works). Flare conversion seems to ignore or mishandle any
graphic in which the screen shot is not alone in its Frame. My memory is these other programs may also have trouble converting complex graphics. Still, there are a lot of configurable variables in Mif2go that I have not researched deeply. So I will.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My Mif2Go version is from 2010. Might an upgrade to Jeremy Griffith’s last produced version be beneficial? Is it even available anymore now that Jeremy Has passed?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you again everyone!</span></p>
