Therein lies the problem. For the past bazillion years, every single Word document received from my clients has been reliably tagged 100% Normal. Then starts a tiresome and tedious paragraph-by-paragraph conversion. I've tried giving them Word templates that I could easily map to FM, but their

Do not be surprised if you have to make multiple attempts to create a stable conversion document mapping Word styles to FM elements. We ended up at Version 34. One technique I used was to change all text in the Word doc to green before converting. Any text that didn't convert to something in FM st
