Hello Again All, The project that I was working on below (created structured templates and EDD for use to convert unstructured to structured Frame) is now in the hands of the end users. They are having an issue with the paragraph formatting not "sticking" when they apply it in their new document (the structured template). This appears to be a sporadic issue within the same document.
(FrameMaker 10) For instance, Header style (contains numbering reset) 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step Header style 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step Header style (the auto-numbering disappears from the style here) 4. Step 5. Step Header style 1. Step 2. Step Has anyone seen behavior before? If the user changes the affected para to Body and then re-applies the format, "most" of the time it's right. Any ideas on where we can start to look? Thanks in advance!

He suggested adding the formatting into my EDD using the textformat structures. I greatly appreciate everyone's input. This list rocks!

It ended up wiping out every paragraph format in the test document. They're now all <body> again. It was a good idea though! Thank you, Lisa From: Rick Quatro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 07 03, 2012 8:12 AM To: Lisa Freeman; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: Unstructured to Structured: Question about retaining paragraph formats Hi Lisa, Try this: after you wrap a few elements, choose File > Import > Element Definitions. Check the Format Rule Overrides checkbox and click Import. Does that give you the correct formatting for each element? Thanks.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, we are not able to use a conversion table (sigh). The issue is that during the hand tagging of this file, we have to wrap the text in the element tags in para tags to match the schema. When we wrap the text, we lose the paragraph's formatting properties. Everything turns to "body" and we have to reapply the format. We are able to manipulate the EDD somewhat but can't stray from the structure. We've looked at Read\Write rules but they don't appear to help in this case. We've also looked at using the "TextFormatRules, ElementPgfFormatTag" options but we have more than one paragraph style that goes to an individual element. Does anyone have any other ideas? BTW, everything works great when a new document is created using the template, EDD, etc. Thank you in advance!
