<DIV>Hi Tim</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have you saved the old file as MIF to try and clear out gremlins?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And did you try going though other formats instead of Word -> Frame? Eg Word -> HTML -> Frame?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If that doesn't get you a better source file, then if the table layout isn't complicated, you should be able to convert the old table to text, copy that to the new template, and then convert text to table in the new template.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even that sounds horrible for a 1500 page document. Maybe someone else can suggest a more automated approach, but I can't.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
<DIV>Rebecca</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m working on a project where a large document was originally in a database (I don’t know what software) that was updated and posted online as some sort of html document. The database was then converted to a Word file which I subsequently converted to frame. The whole document rendered as a huge, unmanageable table. So I created a new frame template so we will have a workable document in the future. The main problem I’m having is copying text in table cells from the old document into the new. For example, I’m trying to copy two table columns of text into a new two column table. But when I do, the text from the 1<SUP>st</SUP> column will cause my two columns to merge into a single column and the text from the second column does not appear anywhere. If I copy text individual cell by cell, it works fine. But this is going to be a 1500 page document and that would take forever. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions on an approach I might take so that I can copy / paste multiple rows at one time? I’m sorry I haven’t provided much info on the original table, but I don’t understand it myself. The original table was created in the conversion process and I would have no idea how to duplicate it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.<o:p></o:p></P>
