[Framers] Book and Doc Templates.

[Lin Sims]

I think it's more like no one has "templates" so didn't feel they could
help you.

Frame since, I think, 2017, has a Word Import facility that allows you to
map Word styles to Frame tags, which can do a lot of the work for you as
long as you have a file set up with the tags you want. Check Barb Binder's
Rocky Mountain training site; I believe she has a blog post explaining how
to do that.

Beyond that, I recommend Rick Quattro's TableCleaner script, which will
help you reformat Word's tables to clean Frame tables.

Personally, I usually save the Word file to an ASCII text file and copy and
paste blocks into Frame, tagging as I go. It may be a bit brute force, but
it works for me. If nothing else, it ensures that none of Word's cruft is
imported and that the graphics I need are placed where I want them.
