For getting info from PageMaker into FrameMaker...
I recall in my dark past that PageMaker could export tagged text - tags
looking like this: <tagname>. Is that still true? Was it ever true?
If so, I wuold look into exporting that text, then importing it into
FrameMaker as MML. Has anybody ever tried that?
Anyway, since MML doesn't support FrameMaker tables, and it looks like
PageMaker prefers tabs for tables, you may have some sort of solution
there. Another approach might be to see whether you can export the
PageMaker data as tab-delimited text.
