It all depends on which version of FinalWriter you have.

FinalWriter97 includes a RTF export option, which is of course able to be loaded into Micro$haft Word. The RTF file format, IIRC, was originally created by M$ to be an "open" wordprocessing format back when M$ were not such a$$holes, and hence became a standard. That being said, you would need FW97 to be able to r/w a RFT file, which would make it possible to transfer most of the formatting, but unfortunalely none of the graphics.

The best solution, as mentioned earlier, is to create a PDF file. One thing you can do is print to a postscript file from FinalWriter, and it does not matter which version of FW, as all of them are able to create postscript files, and then go to http://www.ps2pdf.com and follow the directions there to make a PDF file. I've used this site to successully create a PDF, and it works great! This way you will be able to keep all of your formatting and graphics the way you created them in FinalWriter.

Hope this helps!
