Hi Steve... Yes, IBA does import Word as well, but in my early testing I found that style names weren't preserved and many objects like links and images were lost.
I still need to do more validation to see if there exists a viable route from FM to IBA or if a plugin would be a usegul method. The current beta plugin is more of a proof of concept to test the process. Cheers, ...scott Sent from my phone. Please excuse any typos or unexpected brevity.
