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.

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

I've found that some conversion tasks go faster when I export Word to
RTF and import that in FrameMaker, and others go faster when I copy in
Word and paste as RTF.
