Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book

[Art Campbell]

If the Word content is stable and you can lock it down, I'd try:

   1. Save as RTF
   2. Import it into Frame, maybe using the Japanese RTF import filter (I
   havean't tried that in 11 yet) if the regular RTF can't cope.
   3. Save Frame files out as MIF to clean them up,
   4. Open and manually break the tables to get the pagination correct. I
   suspect it'll mean one short table segment per page, but you can fudge the
   numbering if necessary.
