I used this plugin to import and cleanup for a large number of tables in a legacy Word document, and it worked like a charm even w/ all the garbage that a legacy Word document can have (and it was a ton - - more like a landfill's worth). And, if you are lucky enough to have styles in your Word document, Rick also wrote a script for me that reads these Word styles in your tables, and after import, applies the corresponding correct FM paragraph style.
I have no financial gains from making this statement - just one very satisfied customer.

It will preserve the tables, but they will require some clean up. I designed my TableCleaner plugin to automate some of the clean up of Word tables in FrameMaker. For more information, see http://www.frameexpert.com/plugins/ Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

I've tried copying straight from the clipboard (Windows 7) but FrameMaker reports "No table cells on the clipboard." I'm guessing that this means that FrameMaker is expecting to be pasting from one FrameMaker table to another FrameMaker table. I've also tried copying via Notepad but I get the same result. Surely there must be a way of importing table data from outside of FrameMaker. Any ideas? Andy W.
