Not so. PageMaker6 has an HTML export addition. It works, sort of.
Unfortunately, PM6 *still* does not do character/word level styles, so
you have to do a lot of post-export tagging on the HTML files. (Styles
are mapped to HTML tags -- no word-level styles, no word-level tagging.)
Frame has long had character styles, so it's export utility should have
an edge. We have not yet received Frame5, so I can't comment on how well
it actually handles the export task.
