Sounds like the breakage occurred between one Word section and another. I find this extremely believable.

Pasted? Whoah... That means that you won't give FrameMaker the chance even to exercise a Word import filter. Import filters contain loadsa' code designed to weed out Wordities.

Undoubtedly.

My first try would have been to *import* the Word content into a new FrameMaker document, clean that up as required and cut and paste from there. But I'm glad you've fixed the problem.
