System name:		steve-dallas.mit.edu
Type and version:	IP22 8.2.18 (with mkserv)
Display type:		NG1

What were you trying to do?
	Import Word document into frame.

What's wrong:
	Frame catches an internal error and dies.

What should have happened:
	Frame should have been happy with the imported document.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I received a reply from Adobe Systems in response to a FrameMaker bug report
that I submitted recently.  The bug seems to cause FrameMaker to crash when
attempting to import documents that contain some unusual features such as
sidebars.  A patch (version 5.5.6) can be obtained by calling 1.800.685.4586.
This seems an infrequently encountered bug, so you may or may not want to
install the patch - I figured I'd just let you know about it in case you didn't
already have the information.

Full details of the bug report are in ~belmonte/Public/frame_bug_report.txt.
The full text of the reply is in ~belmonte/Public/frame_bug_reply.txt.
