DITA to Word output transform

The DITA Open Toolkit release 1.2 or above provides a DITA to Word transforming function to transform DITA source files to output in Microsoft® Word rtf file. The whole structure of the output file is the same as the structure designed in the ditamap file of the DITA source files.

To avoid losing files in the final output, make sure the ditamap file must contain the completed cross references and all topic, concept, task and reference files which are referenced to.
