Mapping of Word styles to Framemaker paragrahps

[Yves Barbion]

I use Template Mapper for jobs like these.

Template Mapper was developed by Chris Despopoulos
http://www.telecable.es/personales/cud.

It goes like this:

   1. Open the Word file in FrameMaker (that's right, just open, not
   import).
   2. Using Template Mapper, map the Word styles to the FrameMaker
   Formats of your template. This is really nice because you cannot only map
   Paragraph Formats, but also Character Formats, Table Formats,
   Cross-reference Formats and Condition Tags. And you have a nice mapping
   table in which you can simply select the FrameMaker Formats to which the
   Word styles should be mapped, so you can't make mistakes here.
   3. Use these "mapping tables" in a "Job Control Panel" to apply this
   mapping to complete FrameMaker books.

What's also nice thing about this, is that you get "clean" FrameMaker files:
the list of Paragraph Formats will only contain the paratags of your
FrameMaker template, not the Word styles (Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2,
...).




Kind regards
