You typically get Word style names (and style definitions) in converted FrameMaker document in two scenarios: 1) When you use Open on a Word document file instead of File>Import>File, FrameMaker brings in the Word stylesheet, or at least those styles that are flagged as in use in the current document. If you simply rename the styles in FrameMaker, you still have all of Word's format definitions. You really need to use a tool like TemplateMapper to do a proper job of converting the formatting as well as the tag name. For this reason, I always advise against using Open with non-native files. 2) If you use File>Import>File, you'll only get the Word style names that are actually applied to paragraphs in the source file. If you prep the source file by renaming the Word styles to match your FrameMaker template, you should not be getting Word style names in the FrameMaker file, and if you use the Reformat Using Current Document's Formats option in the Import Text Flow by Copy dialog, you won;t get any of the Word paragraph format definitions, either. -Fred Ridder _________________________________________________________________ Capture your memories in an online journal! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us
