importing HTML into FrameMaker?

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Hi Robert, 

I don't know what was different with your project, but my project used the same versions of software that you used. I had no problem getting valid XHTML out of RoboHELP 9. 

I hope you have success with this technique.

A slight modification to a structured FrameMaker app will open the XHTML as XML. Elements can be mapped to paragraph styles that match your existing unstructured FrameMaker document. Then you save the *.xml file as unstructured FrameMaker.
