Yvonne asked: "I was recently asked to convert our FrameMaker template into a MS Word
template. Yes, I know this is backwards (and we all know the benefits of Frame over Word)." Yvonne, I was recently faced with the very same situation. Like you, I understand that telling other departments "just to go out and purchase Framemaker" may not be a workable option. Thus, after trying several different workarounds, we hit upon one that worked quite well: I first used FrameMaker to create a PDF. Then, I used a program called "PDF to Word" which is manufactured by a company called Very PDF. (http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2word/index.html). This program took my PDF and created a Microsoft Word document much smaller than my previous attempts. And at $39.95, this is a much cheaper solution than telling others to buy another copy of FM! (And no, I don't work for "Very PDF". I'm hyping their product free of charge! :) -Brad Simmons
