This is true, but only the names of the style tags need to match
verbatim: their attributes may differ.

Since we're talking about Word conversions, I infer that the platform is
Windows. I believe that Windows version of Frame does not have macro
capabilities (if it does, please let me know how to access it): you will
have to use a third party add-on to use macros to clean up the converted
document.
