Subject:Re: Convert files (Word to Frame) From:Alex Dianna <AADiann -at- ACCUSORT -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 12 May 1998 09:11:59 EST5EDT
I was taught by a Frame expert to use the File > Import > File
command. See Chapter 17 of your 5.5 manual. There is a built-in
filter to handle Word docs.
It works well for Word text & formatting (you can redefine the
styles to match your original formatting if you like). Tables take
more work, but once you understand how to make them, it's a fairly
painless process.
If you have specific questions or trouble spots, feel free to contact
me off-list.
