TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Since FrameMaker doesn't have a StarOffice filter, you'd have to save the
documents as MS Word or RTF files -- in which case the answer becomes, "it
depends". Over the years, I've learned that even if an exported file loads
into its destined application cleanly, it can wreak havoc on another
application.
Fortunately, StarOffice is free save for the time you spend downloading it.
I'd recommend you test it thoroughly to see if it suits your needs.
