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><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></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><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></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.
