The * shows that an override has been made - this may or may not be needed. If you re-apply the style and discard overrides that change will be lost forever.

Work on a copy of the file and compare old with new afterwards, or create a PDF from the whole book and use that as your reference to spot the changes.

Hmm, please help me understand more about this problem. How will I lose
formatting?

I think the * styles are the correct ones, just somehow have the * on them.

Thanks!

The potential problem is that you'll lose a lot of formatting that's
necessary but applied incorrectly.

Hi Linda,



One thing you can try is to choose File > Import > Formats, leave the
From Document set to Current, and check the Remove Format Overrides
checkbox.
When you click Import, it should remove all paragraph and character
overrides.

FM 12 (unstructured)

Win 7



I'm working with a large book from a client (66 chapters, 2500+ pages)
that has numerous paragraphs that show an * next to the style name.



From what I've seen, and of course, I've not looked at every page of
every file, the styles are in paragraph catalog, but apparently are
not applied properly. One of my tasks is to generally clean up the
style usage to make it consistent.



Before doing that cleanup (with plug-ins and scripts), I'd like to get
all the styles properly applied to each paragraph. Does anyone know of
an automated way to do this?



Thanks!
