Re: [Framers] Best Method, Word 2013 to Frame 2019.
I use Klaus Daube's enhanced Toolbar (http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker71.html), which makes it easy to copy a paragraph or character style in Frame and paste it using Frame's powerful Find/Replace commands. Sounds like this works much the same as the Word commands. Carol At 05:14 AM 3/12/2019, Shmuel Wolfson wrote: It's much much faster. If there is one feature I miss from Word, it's the incredibly powerful Find/Replace. There is a script in Frame you can buy to replace styles, but in Word you can also find specific character formats and replace by tagging a Style. On 11-Mar-19 7:51 PM, Carol J.

Word's Find/Replace is very good. To do this, leave the Find box blank. On 11-Mar-19 6:15 PM, Carol J.

I find it easiest to copy/paste from the Word doc rather than opening the Word doc in Frame. That prevents all of Word's garbage from coming along for the ride. ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

[Framers] Best Method, Word 2013 to Frame 2019
It’s been a while since I have had to do this, but if you save the Word file as an HTML document, Word will extract all of the graphics and place them in a separate folder. I believe the graphics were saved as jpg files, but you can convert/rename those files as needed. I did not use the resulting HTML in the actual conversion. ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

Re: [Framers] Best Method, Word 2013 to Frame 2019.
Frame has import from Word. It actually works. If you have styles in Word, it is really good. You have to save the file as..doc >From Frame file menu Choose import file, as copy Then the first time there is a settings box You need to map Word styles to Frame files and then import. It works well. Once you make a settings file that you are pleased with, save it and reuse it each time. However, it did not cope with my 300 plus page book, so I had to make smaller word files from it. However, for graphics use the tip about docx, right click on your docx fike and choose unzip. You will get a folder of graphics. There are a few good tutorials on the internet for this. It takes quite a while, especially if there are many graphics. I have precise notes in the office, but am not currently there.
