Subject:Converting of styles from Word to a FM template. From:Mike <maltman -at- PRECISE-CONN -dot- COM> Date:Sun, 17 Jan 1999 12:52:44 +0200
I am new to FrameMaker.
We supply software to a client company that has its own "LOOK" and our
manuals must look the same, using their templates.
The names of the "paragraphs" in the FM OEM template are not the same as
the "styles" in Word.
I converted manually one chapter very, very slowly.
Is there a way to do it at least 90% automatically, without changing the
name of all the Word styles?
FM uses convertion tables to convert to HTML. Is there something similar
for converting "styles" that would not cost a fortune of money?
Thanks, Mike.
