How to quickly adapt a word document to its framemaker replacement

I was referring to Barb's blog articles - they're free.

Matt got started with the FM "bible" with Unstructured FM11 - still a relevant reference even though the UI has changed a bit. See https://www.amazon.com/Matt-R.-Sullivan/e/B016CJHEVU%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share for some of his others.

Thanks.
I've looked in the www.rockymountaintraining.com but I find the 600 bucks a bit too
much for my wallet.

What's the title of the book by Matt R. Sullivan you refer to?

In addition to what Jeff recommends, when you first open FrameMaker you'll see something called WelcomeScreen. In the lower right corner is a panel called Learning that has links to Tutorials, Training, and Matt Sullivan's introductory course for FrameMaker. It's online and free and covers most of the introductory information you'll need, but be aware that the courses unlock over a period of days. You can't binge, in other words.

There's also a link to the User Guide.

Be aware that Frame and Word have very, very different approaches to documentation. One thing you will NOT find in Frame is the Navigation panel you are talking about. You can get the book files to display the text contents of the first line, but that's about it.

You can also FrameMaker courses in LinkedIn Learning, if that's accessible to you.

Edited to add: Also, Matt Sullivan had a presentation covering moving from Word to Frame about a month ago. It is also free and online: https://2020-01-14-stepping-up-from-word-to-adobe-framemaker.meetus.adobeevents.com/?
