Marcus, We get hard coded stuff coming over from Word all the time. The most efficient way we've found to find and tag all of it with the appropriate character tag is to use the file/utilities/create and apply formats. This will create a format for any untagged and hard coded formatting, ie charfmt1, charfmt2, charfmt3, etc... You then just isolate what characteristic each new tag represents, then rename the tag to the appropriate character format in your template, then reimport your template, then delete the charfmt tags from your catalog. This also works well for paragraph formats.
If someone has a quicker way to do this, I'd love to learn :) -bob Robert Kern President, TIPS Technical Publishing, Inc. 108 E.
