### 6.17.3 Producing ASCII text from a converted Word document

If your reason for converting a document from FrameMaker to Word is to take advantage of the Text with Layout converter available from http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm, you might have to provide some extra settings to cope with differences in how Word treats such things as tabs and cross references.

Replace missing tabs with extra spaces

The Text with Layout converter drops tabs from headings and numbered or bulleted formats. To get around this, for each such format specify one or more fixed spaces to follow the number or bullet. For example:

[CodeAfterAnum]

Bulleted = \~\~

Heading* =\~\~

Numbered* = \~\~

See §28.9.3 Surrounding or replacing text with code or macros.

Remove unwanted page references

Unwanted numbers might appear at the ends of headings; for example, “Known Issues” might appear as “Known Issues26”. These numbers are hidden-text page numbers that Mif2Go uses to emulate dynamic cross references to pages. To omit these numbers:

[WordOptions]

ExtXrefPages = No

See §6.11.5.3 Making page numbers in interfile links updatable.
