Hello Amy,
We are using a combination of Framemaker's 'fmbatch' (convert from
Framemaker.mkr native binary format -> Framemaker.mif); then we pass
the .mif file to native Word.doc using Buleberry Filtrix.
All link scripting is written in Perl running on Sun SPARC / Solaris2.6.
Here are URLS for your reference should you wish to pursue this method:
(See mifscripts.README: Text file with instructions and advice).
