Steven,

What Art is recommending is to use a special paragraph tag to hold
only an anchored frame or table (i.e. a container) and not to drop
those items into existing paragraphs that contain text. This way you
have more control in the placement of these frames & tables and how
they behave at page breaks.

FM's quirks currently do not allow frames (text, anchored and graphic)
to have different properties for borders and fills. You can either use
tables or insert one inside in the other (using different properties -
outside has borders set and inside has fill set).

It's usually much easier to copy & paste plain text from Word and then
re-tag in FM. Word is not a publishing system and should only be
considered a content generation tool in an FM workflow. Using styles
consistently in Word and having corresponding styles mapped in an FM
template goes a long way in making imported Word documents much easier
to handle. Avoid any special constructs that have no equivalents in
FM. The Filters.PDF in the FM documentation folder has a list of
features that shows what gets converted by the import filters (see
p.14) and that should be a guide as to what features to avoid using in
Word documents for import into FM.
