FO Converter is a JavaTM component designed to convert XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) to formats compatible with MS-Word, namely Rich Text Format (RTF) and WordprocessingML (WML).

In other words, it can be used to convert XML data or XML documents to MS-Word documents.

FO Converter preserves the structure of the original document and most of the presentation information (font attributes, indentation, etc). The RTF output conforms to version 1.6 of the specification and is compatible with MS-Word 2 and newer versions. The WML output is compatible with MS-Word 2003.

FO Converter, as a software component, is intended for integration in a servlet or desktop JavaTM application, through the use of a high-level API. However, stand-alone applications using the conversion engine are also provided. These include command-line executables and a graphical user interface.

What's New:
Enhancements
Better handling of white space at the beginning/end of a paragraph.
Fixed issue with characters '-' and '.' in id property values. (The RTF loader of MS-Word replaces these characters with '_' (underscore) in bookmark names.)

Bug Fixes
List item labels containing non-textual objects (e.g. images) were not handled properly. (This bug was introduced with version 2.1.)
The body of a footnote was ignored if the footnote element was a child of another inline-level element.
Bad shorthand property values (e.g. border="1") would possibly result in a ClassCastException.
