Word to FrameMaker: automate?
Hi Framers, I convert Word files to DITA topics as follows: 1. Open the Word files in FrameMaker and add them to a FrameMaker book. 2. Set up mif2go. 3. Clean up the files. 4. Using mif2go, save the FrameMaker book as DITA topics (and ditamap). I was wondering what the options are to automate step 1? I guess Framescript can do this (Rick?), any other options?

Step 1 is easy to do in FrameScript. You can have FrameScript throw up a Windows Explorer dialog to support selecting the Word files. You can do things like open all .doc files in a folder. Clean up the files is also possible using FrameScript, if you can express the Clean up tasks algorithmically. -Alan Yves Barbion wrote: Hi Framers, I convert Word files to DITA topics as follows: 1.

Hi Framers, I "convert" Word files to DITA topics as follows: 1. Open the Word files in FrameMaker and add them to a FrameMaker book. 2. Set up mif2go. 3. Clean up the files. 4. Using mif2go, save the FrameMaker book as DITA topics (and ditamap). I was wondering what the options are to automate step 1? I guess Framescript can do this (Rick?), any other options?
