RE: Frame Word Frame -- is there a way to do this w/o going nuts?

We've been maintaining a set of engineering specs for a client for 10 years. The documents are large, 300+ page multi-chapter books, with header autonumbering that goes to 8 levels. About a year ago, client requested we give them the Frame content for one spec in Word so they could do some

Thanks to all who replied, it's genuinely good to know there isn't a magically simple way to do this that I was unaware of. If the import filters are more robust, we definitely should look into upgrading -- we hadn't so far because as non-structured users we hadn't seen

Re: Frame Word Frame -- is there a way to do this w/o going nuts?

The file dates on the import filters have changed, but the menu choices have not, still includes Word 2007, which has been there since FM8. Adobe claims no improvements, and as of FM10 I haven't seen any. On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 7:25 AM, Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com wrote: You're two

One important step is to remember is that if you are opening word docs in FM, you should save them to MIF and then reopen the MIF. This cleans out a lot of crap to begin with. I don't envy you on this on. Craig
