To try and make this more useful, Save the Word document as rtf Then open the RTF file in FrameMaker. Now all of your styles are preserved. Obviously this might not solve your other issue, but does help with the paragraph styles.

When I first heard of TemplateMapper, I wondered if this could be used to help convert from Word to FrameMaker. Then I saw some postings on the list that confirmed that some people do use it for this. Now that I have TemplateMapper, I cannot figure out how it is helpful for this. If you Import a Word document, selecting Copy into Document, then all the paragraph tags (except headings and captions) become *BodyText with no distinction between bullets or numbers, for example. Other issues: * It doesn't look like the TemplateMapper can help with the cross-references because, for instance, there's no way to distinguish between the cross-reference types. * Because our notes are in tables, it doesn't look like there is any way around redoing them all manually. * It doesn't actually convert the tables. I need to go over them with TableCleaner.
