Peter,

Have you tried copying the format of an overridden example paragraph
to the clipboard, then pasting it where you want to apply it?
To repeat this action on other paragraphs that use the same format,
(tap) Escape (tap) j (tap) j; lowercase matters. This repeats the
last paragraph format action; pasting the format stops when you copy
other content to the clipboard.
If you need to apply the override to different paragraph formats,
create examples in a separate FrameMaker file, and copy special from it.
When applying the "keep with next" property to a paragraph and then
using the Repeat Last Paragraph Action shortcut in another paragraph,
the entire set of paragraph properties is applied (together with the
tag name), including the override. Using this shortcut makes the
operation highly tag-specific (this equally applies to copy special >
pgf format + paste).
I agree. My suggestion was for the case where one paragraph format needs
the override often. I suggested the separate file to make it easy to
choose among several different paragraphs.
If the Keep with Next override is only needed with a small number of
paragraph formats, it is likely better to have "official" paragraph
tags with the needed settings (not as overrides), or to have
additional paragraph tags that minimize the need to apply pagination
overrides.
As you know, there are two schools of thought on this:
* Overrides for page-flow tweaking are GOOD, because importing the file
to itself with Remove Overrides makes it easy to clean up a file for the
next iteration or revision. Dedicated paragraph format variations for
different page breaks or keep with behavior is BAD because removing the
custom tweaking is more effort.
* Dedicated paragraph format variations are GOOD for page-flow tweaking,
because they are stable and are proof against Remove Overrides actions.
One takes the road that leads to that inner peach that all technical
authors seek constantly<G>.
