Hi Gillian, I haven't noticed any real differences in how FM9 imports Word.
The main thing to keep in mind is how rigidly the Word author used Para and Character Styles. Normal+ will not come across cleanly...never did and never will! If the author was a sophisticated Word user, and did not manually tweak things in Word, then the files should come over quite painlessly. Regarding training and other assistance: I believe I'll be hosting an online 2-day Unstructured FM9 training the week of July 27th. There are currently 4 students in that class, so a great chance for individualized attention. I just finished up a 3-day Structured Frame Authoring and a 2-day Tech Comm Suite Integration for Diane Gaskill's group (21 folks in the Authoring class, and it still went well!!!) Your cousin might also benefit from some help in the conversion and in setting up the initial template. If that's not something you plan on doing for her, I've helped lots of companies (large & small) with that as well. I can do it remotely, and bill in as little as 1/4 hour increments. -Matt Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training matt at roundpeg.com www.roundpeg.com Office 714 960-6840 Cell & text 714 585-2335 SMS message 7145852335 at vtext.com skype: mattatroundpeg LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/grafixtraining facebook| plaxo Click to tell me the social media sites you belong to -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Flato, Gillian Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 1:58 PM To: Framers List Subject: Importing a Word Doc into Frame v9.0 A cousin of mine is a complete novice on Frame. She is buying Frame v9.0 and importing a 300 page Word manual into it. (After editing the 1rst edition of the manual in Word, she said, never again). I have never seen Frame v9.0, I still use Frame v8.0. How does Frame v9.0 map Word Paragraph styles? Does it do a better job than Frame v8? What does she need to do first to ensure an easy and successful import? Any recommendations for some good online training classes for Frame v9.0?
