6.18 Converting to OpenOffice or StarOffice

OpenOffice.org Writer and StarOffice can open the RTF files that Mif2Go converts from FrameMaker to Word 97 or Word 2000. However, not all features are supported. According to OpenOffice.org 2.0 Help:

OpenOffice.org can automatically open Microsoft Office 97/2000/XP documents. However, some layout features and formatting attributes in more complex Microsoft Office documents are handled differently in OpenOffice.org or are unsupported. As a result, converted files require some degree of manual reformatting. The amount of reformatting that can be expected is proportional to the complexity of the structure and formatting of the source document.

If you load the RTF output files in Word and save them as .doc first, then open the .doc files in OpenOffice, results are much improved.
