Fixing Tables Imported from Microsoft Word

If you’ve imported documents from Microsoft Word that include tables, you’ve probably run across some formatting problems with these tables in FrameMaker:

  • If the Word tables have header rows in Word, these will not be header rows in FrameMaker.

  • If you apply FrameMaker table formats to imported Word tables, the format has no effect on the table.

For information on how to solve this problem, see Chapter 12, “Converting Documents from Other Applications.”
