What I do is open the Word file in Frame, remove all ruling and shading from the table, them either some cells or the whole tale into the destination Frame doc.

Converting Word Tables to unstructured Frame
In the end the most efficient method I have found has been to paste tables as text with tab separated values and convert those to a table in Frame using a predefined table format. This often requires further adjustment, however. The added benefit is that you lose Word's formatting and various other undesirables.

Assuming you're using Frame 8: 1. In Word, convert the table to tab-delimited text. 2. Copy the text out of Word, and use Paste Special to paste it into Frame as plain text. 3.

Converting Word Tables to unstructured Frame
If you work with any kind of tables very much at all, you need Table Cleaner but if you do the Word > FM conversion, I'd ping Rick and ask him to do a conversion script for that purpose.

Although Table Cleaner is highly useful for all kinds of table-related tasks, its original raison d'etre was cleaning up tables imported from Word, and that's still its forte. Unless you're dealing with such a large volume that you can justify automating the entire process (e.g., hundreds of FM files), there's no need for a custom script. For all tables in a document, Table Cleaner lets you: -- convert one or more body rows to real heading rows. -- remove all the custom ruling and shading. -- resize all or selected columns, using your choice of several sizing options. -- apply paragraph formats from the selected table to all or selected columns. And you can perform each of those functions on the table formats you choose. For even a large FM doc, you can turn all the crud-filled, custom-ruled, no-heading Word tables into pristine FM tables in no time. You'll save the cost of the plug-in on the first file or two. Of course, I'm sure Rick would be happy to sell you a custom script if you _insist_. :-) Richard G.
