That is the way you do it, except that it's quicker to do all chapters at a time by selecting them in the book window and importing from there. FrameMaker does not have the automatic template synchronization of, say, Interleaf/Quicksilver. If you want to update *just one* paragraph format across a book, save a dummy copy of a chapter containing the new paragraph definition, delete all other paragraph definitions, then import (the sole) paragraph definition from the dummy copy across the book. Silicon Prairie's Paragraph Tools plug-in adds commands that make paragraph tag management a lot more powerful: there's a matching Character Tools plug-in for character tags. <http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html> (No commercial interest, just a satisfied customer.) -- Steve
