I'm running into a seemingly strange phenomenon with FM 9. I'm working with a 
lot of legacy documents that have formatting issues, and part of my workflow 
involves importing and replacing formats using a template formatted the way I 
wish it to be -- typically, with the very useful CleanImport plug-in.
 
In FM 9, I'm finding that when I do this import, I now get the unexpected side 
effect that the symbol used in the Autonumber Format area of the Paragraph 
Designer changes. For example:
 
Original Format

Font

Unintentionally Modified Format

Font

ð\t 

Wingdings

š\t

Wingdings

à\t

Wingdings

‡\t

Wingdings

 
I'm not sure how or why this changes. I have developed a workaround. I go to my 
source document, do a Global Update, Numbering Properties, for each of the 
paragraph formats in question, applying this to all paragraphs in the source 
document that have the individual tags in question. I am not changing the 
formats in any way, simply re-applying them. Then I re-import the paragraph and 
character formats to all of the remaining files, and then the paragraphs with 
these various "list bullets," for want of a better term, are all restored to 
normalcy.
 
So it's not the end of the world, just an unwelcome extra step. Any ideas?
 
Jim
