Yes, but I think that's a workaround, Art, and not the exact solution Christopher is asking for. I recall considering an approach a year or two back where I would have imported some of our subsupplier brochures, MSDSs, Product Data Sheets, catalogs, etc. in their full-color, graphically rich PDFs into FM (to facilitate indexing, bookmarking, pagination, etc.) had there been a feasible way to do so. I believe someone on the list suggested there is a plug-in out there that will either a) directly allow multi-page PDF import all at once or b) automatically split a PDF into all of its component pages for easier import. If memory still serves, the cost of the tool wasn't worth it for our needs, but that's not to say it wouldn't be for someone else. Anyone recall such a tool?

Then open the RTF files in Frame, wash out any hidden characters by saving as MIF and reopening those files, and then apply the FM look-alike template and go on... Although you may be able to open the original Word Perfect files in Frame, that import filter isn't as robust, in my opinion. Art Art Campbell art.campbell at gmail.com "...
