Theresa,
Rick is correct on this. The tables are not that difficult to set up and, even
if not 100% accurate in the conversion, they would save a lot of handwork.
However, a hour or so of cutting and pasting might be the greatest way to
convince yourself of that.

I finally spent some time helping Theresa and found out that her ultimate
goal was to produce ePub and Kindle output. So, with FrameMaker 12, she
didn't need to go to structure at all; she could just run her unstructured
documents through the included Publish feature of Frame 12 and get what

Open the HTML in a browser. The idea of Smart Paste is that it knows how to
take different formats of data on the clipboard and convert it to the given
Maker Structure App on the fly. Under the covers it uses an XSLT -- But It
think the DITA Topic struct app comes with Smart Paste already

sorry, but Smart Paste is not the best way to do this. Theresa, I offered to
help you, but haven't heard from you. Oh well, have fun with Smart

I saved the file as .htm and the name of the file in Frame was still

No doubt you're right, Rick. I'm in the If you have a hammer, everything
looks like a nail mode. I think Smart Paste is a great feature. Also, I
think you can use it with zero thought in this case... All the gestures are
menu commands already in the products. Worse, DITA is probably

FM12 really uses conversion tables rather than RoboHelp style mapping?

Theresa,
This is not the most effective way of structuring unstructured content. Like
I said in my previous email, you need to use a Conversion Table which is
outlined in Chapter 4 of the manual I referred you to. Contact me offlist
and I will try to walk you through it. Thanks.

I'd say what you're doing wrongly is saving as XML first. Save your
unstructured doc as HTML, then copy/smart-paste into the body tag of a new DITA
topic. This is just a quick way to get lots of structure for free. If you're
talking about a novel, you should really have nothing but p tags
