Hi Cheryl,
You'll need to validate your EDD (shouldn't be too tough) and recreate a StructApp for Fm11 based upon what you had for Fm7.
Again, shouldn't be too tough to recreate your environment. Fm11 includes a StructApp designer, and other details for the improvements to Fm11 (about 50% of the upgrade is related to structure) are in the FrameMaker 11 Reviewer's Guide.
Here's a link to the Reviewer's Guide: http://mattrsullivan.com/2013/10/fm11rg

I had created structured FM7.2 files and was working on round-tripping them to-XML-and-back several years ago, when we were "overtaken by events" and I never did get the XSLT stylesheets worked out.

(The structure dev guide was a huge help back then...) Is there a magic bullet or two that I can use to be able to re-use the 34-page EDD (lots of thought and work put into that way-back-when), or should I just start over from scratch and let FM11 do the heavy lifting that the marketing blurbs on it says it will do?
