Nope. All those wonderful plug-ins will become available to me when I get a box that will run my copy of FrameMaker 10 (trip to local Apple Store to talk to a guru scheduled for March).

Authors don't have any contact with FrameMaker, and I'm still using 7 for Mac. (And boy has it earned it's keep!)

I converted well over 10K pages of legacy Word documentation to FrameMaker and I know I could never have done it without Rick's plug-in. It got rid of all sorts of Word-specific cruft and dealt with the way Frame imported every Word table with the "custom ruling and shading" flag set so that you wouldn't get the expected results when you applied a Frame table style. And it did it all in a single step.

I'm sure Rick is happy to read this ;-)

Generally - and perhaps fortunately - my source material tends not to be table-heavy. The table that started this thread was one that I created here, as it's a convenient way of handling reference lists. Or would be, if FrameMaker 7 didn't suffer from the bug that strips xref markers when you sort a table. (Has this gone from later versions, I wonder?)
