Greetings,

I have to convert a number of Word documents which undergo continual revision into FM documents. The simplest way I have found is simply to copy all from Word, paste special in FM, Rich Text Format. This does a fair job with the original formatting, except for text colors where used.

Worse, no amount of changing and reverting to a FM paragraph style with the right color attribute designated in the style will affect the text color, though every other attribute will change. What gives?

I don't import the file because I can't seem to edit anything, except inside a special blue frame which seems to be emulating Word. I'm looking to have a 'pure' editable FM document after conversion.

Ideas anyone?

Thank you.

regards,

Steven
