I don't think you're remembering right -- FM 7 predates Word 2007 by several years and can't open or import Word 2007 files. FM 7 handles only Word 2003 or earlier. But Word 2007 can save a doc in "Word 97-2003 format." Maybe the doc you successfully imported had been saved in that format. When I got Office 2007 on my new PC, IT set it up to use the older file format by default (a.k.a., "Compatibility Mode") to avoid problems exchanging files. Maybe you can get yours set up that way too, or use Save As every time. BTW, instead of _importing_ the Word doc into your FM destination doc, you'll probably have better results if you _open_ the Word doc, clean up and reformat in the resulting new FM doc, and then move the clean content to the FM destination doc.
