Convert from Word or Robohelp to FrameMaker

WebWorks used to have the solution: the Import Utility - purchased separately. I don't know if that's still available for ePub, bc I haven't used it since WWP 2003. However, this Import Utility would take a RoboHelp project file (MPJ, I think?) and convert the whole thing, allowing you to map the RH styles to WWP styles, and retaining all the hyperlinks, popups, etc.
The only drawback is that it would create a single MIF for the WHOLE RH PROJECT, so it was one humongous MIF!! Due to the size of the MIF, you'd have to be pretty patient w/ FM about opening it. But, once it's open, just save it as an FM file.
After that, Rick Quatro has a handy little script for sale that can split out the single FM file into separate FM files at a given heading level - say, whatever your Heading1 style would be.

Hi
I have designed my Framemaker template and my Webworks ePublisher Pro stationary. It works fine. I am ready for paper and online dhtml help output.
Now I have to migrate either the Word chapters to Framemaker/Webworks or the Robohelp online help to Webworks/Framemaker.
The Robohelp and Word sources are more or less identical. Should I convert from Word or Robohelp?
Are there any pre-processing tips? For example I anticipate that I should change all Word or Robohelp style names to match those in my new templates.
