Word exporting

["Steve Hudson" <steve -at- wright -dot- com -dot- au>]

Just a thought which MAY overcome this problem for the many people that have
this problem and are using word2k.

Has anyone tried splitting the table at each line - importing into frame,
then killing the splits?

The macro to split a table at word's end is:

Sub PrepTablesForExport()
    Dim k As Long
    If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then Exit Sub
    With Selection.Tables(1)
        While .Rows.Count > 1
            .Split .Rows.Count
        Wend
    End With
End Sub

Simple select the too-complex table and run this macro. Hopefully export can
then understand each minitable.

Ideally one could have a matching macro on Frame that finds a table with a
single blank para in between it and the next table, and removes the para.

Subject: Word to Frame


We have a very "precisely" formatted (fussy) document in Word. It has quite
a large number of screen shots that are placed in irregular word tables
(seems like cells are merged one way in one row and another in a different
row). The tables have shadows.

Anyhow, Frame conversion ends in an unspeakable way when asked to take the
Word document as a whole. The only way to convert it seems to be to
translate to .rtf and then redo ALL the tables in Frame and re-import the
screen shots.

Does anyone have any suggestions how we might do it otherwise?
