I am going to migrate from one FM template to a new one. The migration
includes new names for paragraph styles in many documents.
A problem with just importing formats is that all the old formats are
left in the files. You'll need to get hold of Paragraph Tools
first. Try this:
1 For each file in the old format create a new empty
file in the new format. (The new file does not
contain any content at all.)
2 In the old file, select all, copy, and paste into the
corresponding file in the new format. This leaves
all the old formats behind and does not contaminate
the Paragraph catalogue, Character catalogue, etc.
in the new format.
3 With Paragraph Tools:
a) Create a list of para tags actually used.
b) Create a list of para tags in the catalogue.
c) Create a conversion table that maps tags
used to tags in catalogue.
d) Rename the tags used to the names in
the catalogue.

You can do likewise for character formats and table formats
with Character Tools and Table Tools.
