We are considering going from FM 9 to FM 12.
Is there a problem of opening FM 12 in FM 9 as we convert. If so; does anyone
have a solution.
I was thinking to keep both until all is converted. Anything else to consider.
What is the rule-restriction about opening in different versions of Frame?
You can save backwards by saving the FM12 content as MIF.
If you have several writers, you might want one of them to be the pioneer
with a few projects. Then that person can report back to the rest and help
them as they learn the new features.

My workflow from Word to FM doesn't use plain text, as I don't want to have to
manually recreate footnotes (our content is footnote-heavy) or re-apply bold or
italics within paragraphs. By the same token, I want to get rid of all of the
Word-defined styles.

That is very true. The Word documents I'm working with right now are highly
consistent in the use of styles, etc. That makes a huge difference. Conversion
is a chore, but the results are very clean. As the saying goes: Garbage

If you're editing, proofreading, and indexing in Word, it's hard to
believe that there's not a better tool than FrameMaker to accomplish
whatever you're using it for.

Words markers are retained when you open a Word file in FrameMaker (though the
seem to contain scanty information sometimes). As I indicated in a previous

resave as FM, then tag all text to whatever the most common style
