I have been investigating this topic recently and not for the first time. I searched the archives of this list, and found some (intimidating to me) advice from some very experienced Frame users on this list (If I tried to name them, I'd get it wrong). Some of this advice invoved writing Word macros and other stuff way to complex for me, and with the same issues I'll get to in a minute. I searched the Internet & found Filtrix and other lovely tools, which do conversion. Yipee! The thing that makes this solution impractical to me is the fact that the source and target documents must have defined styles. By the time I clean up a co-authored document (Have you ever tried to get a group of people to use predefined Word styles?), I could have cut & pasted the text into FrameMaker and applied my Framemaker styles. In short, I'm anxiously awaiting the same advice or a miracle. Just so's you don't feel alone. signed, lone tech writer in a world of software developers
