[Framers] Book and Doc Templates.

[Fred Ridder]

That's exactly the approach I took when I converted nearly 10k pages of docs from Word (Word 95 in those days) to Frame for a former, former employer. We had pretty good compliance to the old Word template because we had been using a complex, scripted conversion to Windows Help, so the conversion actually went pretty well except for cases of missing graphics source files. (I still curse the memory of writers who pasted graphics directly into Word.)

The Frame templates I imported into were set up to be semi-structured (tags to reflect structural function rather than appearance) to facilitate further migration to XML. But that migration never happened because the parent company sold off our division and shipped the products and docs off to teams in India.

Hi Rick,

I haven't used any templates, but what I have done is renamed the para tags and any character tags in the word doc to match what I have in frame (i.e., Heading 1 to Heading One) and then imported the doc file into frame.  It seems to work pretty well.  The only thing is, you'll have to go back make separate files/chapters, and you'll have some minor para/character clean up.  And you'll need to re-import the graphics.

Hope that helps.

Hi Everyone,

I didn't get any responses to my email. If I have done something wrong or offended anyone, I humbly apologize. I have been on and off this list since 1991 and Everyone I have ever dealt with has been great. So again Everyone, if I did something wrong, my bad.

Thank you.

Rick

Hello Everyone,

I am converting a 193 page Word doc to FrameMaker 2017. Does anyone have recommended templates for doing this. I am trying to do this in as little time as possible. If you can share what you have great, if you are selling what you have great also, just let me know what you need.

Thank you all for your help.

Rick
