### 6.5.4 Maintaining pagination in Word

Word copyfits more loosely than FrameMaker, and tends to break pages earlier. To maintain in Word the same pagination as in FrameMaker, you might have to create a conversion template (see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template), and tune the template so page breaks occur at the same places in Word as in FrameMaker.

A conversion template might have to include format tweaking to maintain the same pagination in Word. Probably you would want to reduce default table cell margins, and s pace above and below tables, to make the tables in your document fit the same amount of space. Sometimes a reduction of 5% in the type size, such as changing 11 pt. to 10.5 pt. for Word output, brings the appearance of the document in Word closer to its appearance in FrameMaker. Also, a fractional reduction of paragraph spacing seems to help.
