Re: [Framers] Book and Doc Templates.
What Jeff said. And if you're really worried, save the Word file to a text file, open it in something like Notepad++, and copy from there. You'll lose some of the context of headings and things, though, which means keeping the Word file open so you can check for things like heading tags and graphic locations and the like. Still, I prefer it because there is no way, none, that anything sneaks through. The only thing I copy directly from Word is tables, and those go into a separate Frame document with the right tags set up and then I use Rick's TableCleaner to fix them before copying them (again) into Frame. I tend toward the paranoid when it comes to Word.

Re: [Framers] Book and Doc Templates.
When I did this in the past (Word --> FM), I also followed the same approach that Lin mentions - it is the one that prevents confusing issues later on within FM or generating PDF, etc. There is usually some crud hanging around that could cause problems otherwise. Of course, now that I am using LaTeX, I have an equally similar approach taking docs in FM (stopped upgrading at FM 12) over to LaTeX (FM --> LaTeX). If I need to make significant changes - needing multiple days of work - I convert to LaTeX with about a day of editing work for the size of documents that I work on (typically less than a few hundred pages). Else, I just make the changes in FM12. (As always, I emphasize that what works for me in LaTeX may not be relevant for you all. Just the kinds of specs and white papers I write work great in there now. With formalized consistency that Word is unable to provide.)

Hello Everyone, I am converting a 193 page Word doc to FrameMaker 2017. Does anyone have recommended templates for doing this. I am trying to do this in as little time as possible. If you can share what you have great, if you are selling what you have great also, just let me know what you need. Thank you all for your help.

Re: [Framers] Book and Doc Templates.
I think it's more like no one has "templates" so didn't feel they could help you. Frame since, I think, 2017, has a Word Import facility that allows you to map Word styles to Frame tags, which can do a lot of the work for you as long as you have a file set up with the tags you want. Check Barb Binder's Rocky Mountain training site; I believe she has a blog post explaining how to do that. Beyond that, I recommend Rick Quattro's TableCleaner script, which will help you reformat Word's tables to clean Frame tables. Personally, I usually save the Word file to an ASCII text file and copy and paste blocks into Frame, tagging as I go. It may be a bit brute force, but it works for me. If nothing else, it ensures that none of Word's cruft is imported and that the graphics I need are placed where I want them.

Re: [Framers] Book and Doc Templates.
Hi Rick, I haven't used any templates, but what I have done is renamed the para tags and any character tags in the word doc to match what I have in frame (i.e., Heading 1 to Heading One) and then imported the doc file into frame. It seems to work pretty well. The only thing is, you'll have to go back make separate files/chapters, and you'll have some minor para/character clean up. And you'll need to re-import the graphics. Hope that helps.
