You want to save or convert your FrameMaker files to RTF, and then
open the RTF files with Word.
Buy the MIF to RTF filter from Omni Systems if you can (www.omsys.com)
...it is far superior to the "save to RTF" function in FrameMaker.
You have the additional step of having to save your FrameMaker file to
MIF first, but you will still save time over the FrameMaker RTF save
function.
Good luck,
