Importing Word fields and bookmarks to FM

[Art Campbell]

David,
I haven't attempted to import such a complex document myself, so I'm
not sure what is possible and what isn't on an item-by-item basis. I
am surprised that the cross-refs, index markers, and similar "common"
tools aren't imported; less so that text insets and so on aren't.
What method are you using? FM's Word import, or RTF filter, Japanese
RTF, or something else?
Have you explored the third party filters yet? Blueberry Filtrix and others?
