Migrating EDDs

[Steve Rickaby]

Group: my apologies for hitting the list so hard just recently. I'm under pressure to complete some work before the holiday break and it's taking me into unknown territory.

I know that FrameMaker supports conversion rules tables for converting unstructured documents into structured. But what about the process of migrating from one EDD to another? I can't find anything about this in any written documentation I have. Specifically:

. Is there a 'best practise' method? 

. Are there any pitfalls to watch out for? 

. What is involved other than importing a new set of structured definitions and then manually tidying up? 

. Are there any third-party tools that can help with the conversion process?

Many thanks
