• This feature only supports pasting into the Arbortext Editor Edit pane or Arbortext Styler Generated Text Editor.

• This feature does not affect copying and pasting markup between two Arbortext Editor windows.

• Because Arbortext Import/Export does not currently support text directionality, this feature does not support directionality.

• The quality of the pasted markup depends primarily on the structure and clarity of the source documents. In the case of Microsoft Word and Adobe Framemaker documents, using paragraph styles is important to successful and efficient conversion. If all paragraphs in the source document use the same style name, even though the formatting may create the illusion of division titles, it is not possible to automatically determine the desired markup. If the source document uses unique style names to represent division titles at various nested levels, then the paste results will be more automatic. Well-styled source documents can significantly reduce the time spent for manual cleanup.

• The quality of the pasted markup also depends on how well the document type elements have been defined in the document type configuration (.dcf) file, and to some extent the .style file.

• Support for inline styles (bold, italic, and so forth) requires an element that is unique to that purpose, such as emphasis with attributes, or b (for bold). Multiple, simultaneous inline styles, such as bold-italic, assumes the nested element model like axdocbook.  By default, the feature can handle all combinations of bold, italic, and underline.  More sophisticated conversion requires a custom MapTemplate.

• While images can be copied and pasted from Microsoft Word, those images that have been constructed from a loose collection of drawing objects cannot be pasted directly as an image because it is not a single image.

• Adobe FrameMaker does not include image information in the clipboard data, so images cannot be copied and pasted from FrameMaker.

• If you select and copy a table from Adobe FrameMaker 7.2 or earlier, the table structure is not copied to the clipboard. However if you copy a sibling paragraph with the table (the paragraph before or the paragraph after), the table structure is converted correctly. This is a limitation of FrameMaker versions prior to 8.0.

• If you select and copy a table that contains another nested table and attempt to paste that table into a Arbortext XML DocBook document, a DITA document, or a document of another document type that requires that a table be enclosed in paragraph tags, the Invalid Paste Structure dialog box opens. Arbortext Editor does not enclose a nested table in paragraph tags in this case.
