How do I import text from a table (.docx) into FM.

I would like to import the text from a table in word to a FM template. I do not want the table. I wish to take the text only, and map the formats to the appropriate FM template formats.

Is this possible?

Here is a sample:

Section

Body

Header

Scenario: INSERT SCENARIO NAME

Body Text

Solution: INSERT SCENARIO NAME

Body Text

Exercise: INSERT Exercise title

Body Text

Scenario: INSERT SCENARIO NAME

\u  Bullet Text

1.       Numbered text

Solution: INSERT SCENARIO NAME

Exercise: INSERT Exercise title

Body Text

Hi sreynolds2138,

You can either open the Word file containing the table into Fm, or import the word file (File>Import>File) into an existing Fm document.

After you get the table into FrameMaker, you can use the Table>Convert to Paragraphs option to break the table into paragraphs.
