<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Yes, TableCleaner is absolutely indispensable when you're importing complete Word documents that contain tables into FrameMaker. I couldn't do without it. <br><br>But for bringing in a single table (which I believe was the original query), I'll stick with the convert-to-text-before-copying method. In my experience it is quicker to apply clean formatting to the cells of one table that was built from pasted plain text than to fix all the Word-ness of a table that was pulled in as a table even if you have a tool that does most of the work.<br><br>-Fred Ridder <br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:02:42 -0400<br>Subject: Re: Word Tables to Frame 12Tables<br>From: ljsims.ml@gmail.com<br>To: robert@lauriston.com<br>CC: framers@lists.frameusers.com<br><br><div dir="ltr">And don't forget Rick Quattro's excellent TableCleaner plugin, which can help make cleaning up Word tables ever so much easier.<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 12:43 PM, Robert Lauriston <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robert@lauriston.com" target="_blank">robert@lauriston.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
