FrameMaker to InDesign

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Ann,

Here are some ideas, depending on the nature of the FrameMaker documents.

* Save FM to RTF or Word and import the text into InDesign.

* For structured FrameMaker, export to XML and import XML into InDesign.

* Build a script to export FrameMaker paragraphs, tables, etc, wrapping them 
in Adobe InDesign Tagged Text. Then open the tagged text file in InDesign to 
get fully-formatted text. This would work well for simple, consistently 
formatted FrameMaker documents.
