What formats can FrameMaker output to? Specifically, can it generate a Word .doc file?

Haha! Funny. My favorite is when he prefaced his request by saying a flash demo is "a type of documentation." I was hired as a technical writer 10 mos ago. Now, I try to be flexible. Since being hired in addition to the usual documentation stuff I've led workshops, dealt with angry...

My favorite came yesterday "I want a 4 minute product demo film in Flash. Our competitor has one. Never used flash before? Well, I've checked out the flash software, it looks easy. I estimate you need 2 1/2 days for this. When can you start?"
