Use of TemplateMapper for converting from Word?
Regarding the issue of using TemplateMapper to convert from word, Caroline Tabach wrote: To try and make this more useful, Save the Word document as rtf Then open the RTF file in FrameMaker. Now all of your styles are preserved. Obviously this might not solve your other issue, but does help with the paragraph styles. I found that I lost more by importing from RTF. There was still no differentiation between Word styles. But graphics were no longer in anchored frames and, although references can in very funny by importing the word doc, at least they were working references. But this was lost when importing the RTF. Then I dug out an old message from Fred Ridder, I think, who suggested using word macros to help map the styles. This led to my discovery that the non-differentiation between styles was actually an issue with the Word template being used. An older template version did convert better with TemplateMapper because it differentiated more between styles. So the current word template can be prepped for conversion to Frame by macros. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of David Kuhn Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 6:09 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Use of TemplateMapper for converting from Word?

To try and make this more useful, Save the Word document as rtf Then open the RTF file in FrameMaker. Now all of your styles are preserved.
