Hi Nina...

You just need to run the "Build FM DITA Book from DITA Map File" command. At the first prompt (select file dialog) select the ditamap you want to convert, then the second prompt (select file dialog) specify the name of the new book to create.

If you get errors, choose "OK" to each prompt.

Based on the errors you're getting it sounds like ..

a) you've got an unstructured FM marker in one of the files (that shouldn't prevent the book from being created)

b) you've got some text in an invalid location (also shouldn't prevent the book from being created .. but might)

c) you've got a 

  element in an invalid location (might prevent the book from being created)

  Be sure to validate (Element > Validate) all of your files before trying
  to build a book.
