Thanks for the various tips. I've just tried Save As - rtf. It did convert it (took nearly an hour for a thirty page document with graphics), but it will need a clean-up.

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 -- Hedley Finger 28 Regent Street Camberwell VIC 3124 Australia Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Fax.
