Subject:Saving a FrameMaker book as a Word file From:"Chuck Martin" <cm -at- writeforyou -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 13 Apr 2004 16:34:43 -0700
OK, I've been poking around/searching for the answer, inthe archives here,
on Google, on Adobe's site (not easy), and not coming up with the answer.
Can I save a FrameMaker book as a Word (or even an RTF) file? I'm using
FrameMaker 7.0 on a PC. I htink I applied the latest patch (the version # is
7.0p578).
When I have a document open and choose Save As, I get a nice long list of
types, types that include Microsoft RTF1.6, Microsoft RTF1.3, and Microsoft
Word Win 6.0/7.0.
But with a book, I can choose Save Book As, but the only options are:
Book 7.0
View only 7.0 (book)
Book 6.0
MIF
PDF
HTML
XML
No RTF or Word in sight.
I do have the install CD, so if I missed something I can go back and do a
reinstall. But I don't recall anything like that as being book-specific.
Am I lost here?
