How about the scorched-earth option? Go back to WP, save the
original as text, import that to Frame & re-tag. (If you don't
have WP available, forget I ever said anything.)

This usually works better than going through all the hassles of
*trying* to move documents across various word processors. And it's
easier than re-typing the text AND re-tagging. :-)


Also, have you tried saving the Frame file as MIF and reloading?
