[Framers] Importing table formats into chapters in a book

[tammyvb at spectrumwritingllc.com]

I miffed all my files, and saved and then opened and resaved as FM, and then
closed and restarted FM and did the import and voila - I kid you not, , ,
success. I am not gonna' even try to understand this one at this point, but
yea, I have had these chapters and this book open for a VERY long time w/out
closing and restarting FM, so . . . Whatever it takes. Tammy Van Boening
