It's as slow as wet week, though and it's pretty rough.
Actually, it is not only slow but dangerous if you use either of the
Microsoft Word RTF options in FM 7.2 or earlier (don't know about FM8).
Takes for ever, memory gets chewed up, output file is suspiciously far
larger than it should be, crashes frequent, output RTF won't open ... .
The rumour is that Adobe and the developer of the bought-in filter fell
out about FM5.5 and that and all subsequent releases have had the same
buggy converter.
UNLESS you choose the Japanese RTF converter. Then it is fine. The
Japanese RTF converter is from a different developer and has always
worked reliably. Running heads and feet may not convert or will turn
out ... s t r a n g e ... but only because FM's master pages allow
multiple graphic and text frames, and the converter may not be able to
decide which ones equate to headers and footers.
Regards,
Hedley
