Find not finding

[Guy K. Haas]

Charles--

Might I ask how the original Word material was brought into FrameMaker? 
  That is, was it opened with File>Open and thus filtered in through 
FrameMaker's own mechanisms?

And was this all in the context of FrameMaker 7.2, or was an older 
version involved?

Some of our team will be facing the Word->Frame conversion soon, and 
when I shared your info with them, they asked.

--Thanks,
