People, any idea about that? if yes let me know. I did a google on it but found nothing substantial. I was dreaming of a free conversion tool ;-) If you have any information on this let me know.

Converting Word to Frame:

Method 1: For Frame version prior to 6:

1. Save the Word doc as RTF format.

2. The RTF file can be directly opened in Frame.

3. The fomating as in the word document and the template components will also come thru. You will therefore require to apply the reqd FM templates to the specific components. This can also be done on a globally for common components. For example: if the word doc has a component BodyText that needs to be converted to Body in FM do a search for the component and replace with the reqd component.

4. After applying the FM template it it recommended that you delete the extra components from the FM doc.



Method 2. For FM 6 onwards, Word docs can be directly opened in FM.

After that perform step 3 given above.
