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.
