I have been working with an allied problem: XML tables into Framemaker.

(Have a solution that seems to work fairly well - I'll post the details 
when I verify it all the way through again. It will also work on other XML 
files with minor tweaking of a conversion to HTML script.)

It was suggested that I use the Japanese RTF file converter to take my Word 
RTF output and oddly it chokes every time but the plain Windows one doesn't.

I don't get it myself.  Anybody have more clues?

TIA.

of the jet where the engine caught fire because the company's maintenance 
manual was wrong about how to install one key bolt.  (NTSB Report on GE CF6
