I have this little problem. I got lot's of documents made with Mac's
PageMaker (using both versions 3.0 and 4.0) and I'd like to transfer
them to FrameMaker (ultimately to UNIX's FrameMaker, but I got Frame
for the Mac, too). Unfortunately these two programs definitely refuse
to talk to each other so that the other could understand it. About the
only way I managed to get information across was when I openend both
PageMaker and FrameMaker in the Mac's Multi Finder and used Mac's
clipboard to cut-and-paste from PageMaker to Frame. There are two
problems with this. First, I lose all text formatting and must remake
the layout in Frame. Secondly the workload is absolutely staggering.
(I simply refuse to make it like this if there is a better, FASTER
way to do it).

So, if there is someone, who has already solved this wee problem I'd
very much like to hear about it. Either e-mail me (preferably) or
post the solution here for all people to see (this is also fine by
me :-) )
