Hi Cheryl, You'll need to validate your EDD (shouldn't be too tough) and recreate a StructApp for Fm11 based upon what you had for Fm7.
Again, shouldn't be too tough to recreate your environment. Fm11 includes a StructApp designer, and other details for the improvements to Fm11 (about 50% of the upgrade is related to structure) are in the FrameMaker 11 Reviewer's Guide. Here's a link to the Reviewer's Guide: http://mattrsullivan.com/2013/10/fm11rg -Matt Matt R.
