Try the following:
Make a copy of the FM file.
Save the file as a Word file.
Open it in Word.
Do the conversion to table in Word.
Opening the Word file in FM.
Copy the table back to the original FM doc.
Select the entire table and apply the table ruling and shading "From
Table." This removes any custom format that FM added when converting the
Word file to FM.

Hi Framers,
I'm updating a long-used FM document for accessibility. Using FM 2019's
Table > Convert to Table function, I converted existing formatted
paragraphs with tabbed columns into an actual table.
The conversion correctly applies table title and column header formats. But
it ignores all other paragraph formats, so the entire page-long table is
converted to column header format. I have to reassign the table text format
to the entire table (because it covers the most content), then individually
assign different formats to the cells in which they apply. This takes about
five times as long as it should. There are 16 tables, so you do the math.
FM's conversion approach is illogical and contrary: it applies some other
format to already-formatted content without warning or explanation. Can FM
be made to convert to table keeping all paragraph formats intact?
Thanks,
Karen
