Hi Everyone,
I have read over the years numerous ways to get Word docs into FrameMaker. Is
there one "best method" out there that everyone agrees is the way to go.

Hi
I would like to recommend this explanation of the new Word import.

Inserting graphics and fixing tables still take a long time afterwards,
there are a lot of tools out there that can be helpful, e.g. TableCleaner,

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.

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 resulti

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.
Art has the version that works with melons.

I strongly recommend starting with one of the smallest docs to learn
the process.
If due to bad formatting in the Word source the import is not clean
and needs a lot of work, you might try the convert-to-zip-and-extract
approach.

If everything is tagged as Normal, you can do a find/replace in Word to
find specific character formats, such as a specific font size, a certain
font, or bold, and replace with a specific style. Word's Find/Replace is
very good. To do this, leave the Find box blank.

If your Word docs are formatted to use 100% Normal style, then, your
only choice is to manually tag every paragraph in Frame. 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.

The import usually isn't an issue because FM has improved the import
facility a lot; the reformatting to FM tags is usually the big thing.
Rick Quattro's RindChangeFormatsBatch is the best tag and style remapping
tool I've found -- highly recommended .
