How do I convert Word files into FAP files?

There are several ways to convert Word files (DOC) into FAP files.

Note   Studio version 11.5 and later can convert DOC files and Documaker documents (created with the Documaker Add-In for Microsoft Word.)

For example:

Save the Word file as an RTF file. Then open the RTF file in Studio’s Section manager.

Use the Word Converter to add FAP files as a Save As type in Word.

Use Printcommander (version 5.x or greater) to produce FAP files from DOC files. Then open the FAP files in Studio. This approach avoids some font issues.

Use Printcommander (version 5.x or greater) to produce DCD files from DOC files. Then open the DCD files in Studio’s Section manager.

Use Printcommander (version 5.x or greater) to produce AFP files from DOC files. Then open the AFP files in Studio’s Section manager.

Use Printcommander (version 5.x or greater) to produce Metacode files from DOC files. Then open the Metacode files in Studio’s Section manager.

Use Word and an older print driver, such as the HP IID driver, to produce a PCL print stream. Then open the PCL file in Studio’s Section manager.

Use the RTF2FAP utility to convert the file.

Use the DCD2FAP utility to convert DCD files or use the MRG2FAP utility to convert AFP or Metacode files.

Use Word to produce a PCL file (via the print driver) and then use the PCL2FAP utility to convert PCL files into FAP files.
