Hi all: A second option might be to save your files as MIF which can be used by many software programs. I also have a customer who needed to open FM files in a different program and this process worked quite well for him.

Then open the tagged text file in InDesign to get fully-formatted text. This would work well for simple, consistently formatted FrameMaker documents.
