Subject:From Word to FM From:"Paige Pitsenberger" <ppitsenb -at- itgs-presearch -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 3 May 2001 17:03:16 -0400
WIth all the talk about the impotance of tools.... I am just beginning to
teach myself FrameMaker in my current job. I have been through a few
tutorials from the Adobe site and would like to try bringing my
some-200-page document from Word into a book in FM. I have begun a new
document and started by copying and pasting special... as text. A regular
copy/paste copies the entire selection as an object. I tried an import, and
I received an error. I also have numerous screen shots in this document.
What is the best way to bring those over, as well? They are saved in the
Word document (not linked). Should I try a link from file in FM?
Like I said, I am just starting in FM, so I would appreciate any advice you
have in my attack.
