5.3.1 Understanding why Mif2Go produces separate RTF files
Word becomes unstable at much smaller document sizes than are typical for FrameMaker books. Combining FrameMaker files into a single RTF file usually results in a file that crashes Word. Word is limited to a maximum of about 150 pages per file, though you might get away with larger files, or fail with smaller files. So merging the (usually larger) FrameMaker files is a risky proposition. This is true especially if FrameMaker files contain graphics; Word keeps a local copy of every referenced graphic in the document file, so file sizes can become huge very quickly.
If you really must produce a single RTF file from a FrameMaker book, you can do so:
