FrameMaker and MS Word

[Steve Lefevers <scl -at- pcisys -dot- net>]

I have just started using Framemaker 5.5.6 and have a couple of general
questions. I'm using Neuburger's Master Series book which is outstanding.

MS Word has a default Normal.dot Template inherent in the program.
It doesn't seem like Framemaker has a similar Template like Normal.dot.
True?

Word allows for Section Breaks, Page Breaks, and also has the AutoCorrect
and AutoText Features. I see no mention of any of these in Framemaker.  I'm
assuming Framemaker doesn't have these. True?

In Word its always best to Use Format - Styles rather than directly
Formatting a Document. I'm assuming the same principle holds true for
Framemaker?

Framemaker appears to use different terminology. Instead of Styles,
Framemaker calls its (styles) Tags (Paragraph and Character Tags).
Correct?

If I start a document in Word, (say I've already entered 3 pages of text)
and the manager says sorry, we need to have this document created in
Framemaker, can I copy just the text itself (not all its formatting) into
Framemaker so I don't have to retype all the text? If so, How?

Thanks in advance.
