Re: more on FM to RTF

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another issue is the mis-translation of high-ASCII characters (e.g.,
EM-Dash, degree symbol, etc., particularly if FrameMaker uses the Symbol or
Dingbats font to produce those characters. Also, there's mistranslation of
these characters the other way (i.e., from Word or RTF to FrameMaker binary
or MIF.). I recently tested the latest version of Filtrix on a WIN NT
machine, and found that these mistranslations are still present when, for
instance, saving Word docs as RTF and then converting the RTF to MIF. The
filters that come with Frame are also guilty of this. Anyone have a solution?
