RE: Word to Frame

["Cekis, Margaret" <Margaret -at- mediaocean -dot- com>]

Ellen:

My experience with Frame is limited, but in what I have converted to Frame
from Word, I was instructed to convert all tables to text first, then suck
the Word files into Frame.  All the other formatting went over flawlessly,
but the table macros in the two programs are incompatible.  It is easier to
make new tables in Frame from comma-delimited text than it is from the mess
you get from a Word table.

"We have a very "precisely" formatted (fussy) document in Word. It has quite
a large number of screen shots that are placed in irregular word tables
(seems like cells are merged one way in one row and another in a different
row). 

"Anyhow, Frame conversion ends in an unspeakable way when asked to take the
Word document as a whole. The only way to convert it seems to be to
translate to .rtf and then redo ALL the tables in Frame and re-import the
screen shots. 
 
"Does anyone have any suggestions how we might do it otherwise?"
