[Framers] Best Method, Word 2013 to Frame 2019.

[Jeff Coatsworth]

There's a couple of ways I recall:
- make sure that your source Word files have well-defined styles and match them in FM for best import matching; clean up still required to get images etc. over
- copy and paste Word content as text and style accordingly in FM; cleanest method; can be facilitated by setting your maker.ini to put the TEXT paste at the beginning of the string of formats so that a regular Ctl-V paste acts like a paste-special text only paste (saved me a bucket of time)

Subject: [Framers] Best Method, Word 2013 to Frame 2019.

Hi Everyone, 

I have read over the years numerous ways to get Word docs into FrameMaker. Is there one "best method" out there that everyone agrees is the way to go. 

I have a 413 page Word 2013 doc with embedded graphics, tables, and anything else you can through into Word. I have been away from Frame for about 6 or 7 years so I have some catching up to do. My company just purchased the Adobe Tech Comm Suite for me, my recommendation, and want me to move ALL the Word stuff, starting with one of the biggest docs. 

I really appreciate any input you guys through at me as I ramp back up to using Frame again. 

Thank you. 

Rick
