If your Word docs are formatted to use 100% Normal style, then, your
only choice is to manually tag every paragraph in Frame. I find it
easiest to copy/paste from the Word doc rather than opening the Word
doc in Frame. That prevents all of Word's garbage from coming along
for the ride.
However, with tables, I will open an .rtf version of the Word doc in
Frame so as to capture the table and its contents. Then paste that
into my new Frame doc and use Rick Quatro's TableCleanerES tools to
strip the table of Word's stuff. (It isn't always 100% clean, but
you'll be nearer to where you need to be.) Then manually apply
Frame's table and character tags.
Graphics: There are many different ways to handle graphics.
Personally, I find the best way is to copy/paste out of Word and into
Adobe Illustrator. Then import the .ai file directly into an anchored
graphic frame in Frame.
Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,
I have read over the years numerous ways to get Word docs into
FrameMaker. Is there one "best method" out there that everyone
agrees is the way to go.
I have a 413 page Word 2013 doc with embedded graphics, tables, and
anything else you can through into Word. I have been away from Frame
for about 6 or 7 years so I have some catching up to do. My company
just purchased the Adobe Tech Comm Suite for me, my recommendation,
and want me to move ALL the Word stuff, starting with one of the biggest docs.
I really appreciate any input you guys through at me as I ramp back
up to using Frame again.
Thank you.
Rick
