Copying Word text to FM unstructured 12.

[Craig Ede]

Words markers are retained when you open a Word file in FrameMaker (though the seem to contain scanty information sometimes). As I indicated in a previous message, it might be better to open the file into FM, saveAs Mif, open and resave as FM, then tag all text to whatever the most common style is in your document (Body or somesuch), then retag the other paras as needed. Much better than importing plain text.
