Thanks! The suggestion about going to the last, furthermost right cell, cutting the text out, and pasting back in as text - worked. It was only a couple of (some huge) tables in a couple of the files.
Thanks, to all. ............................................................ ~ John ~ Sr. Learning Specialist, Educational Services MRO Software (An IBM Company) Phn: +1.781.280.2003, Fax: +1.781.280.2201 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ............................................................

Hi John, The suggestions that I have seen in the frameusers e-mail list are all trying to find the cause within FrameMaker. They are helpful, and you may find what you need there. My personal solution is to bite the bullet early, scrap all formatting, and import only ASCII text into FrameMaker whenever possible. My reasoning is that hidden instructions in each application (Word, Ventura Publisher, Word Perfect, etc.) use different instructions to direct their software engines to produce specified output. If any of these hidden instructions get into the background within FrameMaker, they can be extremely difficult to find and remove. And they sometimes stay hidden until final production, such as printing (to paper or to PostScript, or just saving to PDF). At production time, the bizarre results may come so long after the initial import of foreign (e.g., Word) files that the cause is no longer obvious, and may be even more difficult to pin down. I have experienced this personally. In Windows, I generally copy from Word into Notepad, then copy from Notepad into FrameMaker. If you don't want to start over again, you can sometimes get resolution by saving your FrameMaker files as MIF files, then opening the MIF files in FrameMaker and saving them as regular *.fm files again. The round trip to MIF and back can solve some problems.
