Bill: One reason is to adjust text pagination, for final revision. Overriding keep-with, widow/orphan, start-position, and some other properties of paragraph formats may be necessary. However, it's easy to manage or restore original formatting by one or more of these methods:
* Save a pagination-only copy of the file * Reapply the catalog definitions of the paragraph formats by importing them from the "current" document to itself, or by importing them from a master template, with Remove Manual Page Breaks, and Remove Other Format Overrides both turned on. An alternative approach is to create dedicated variations of paragraph formats; this means more formats to manage, and no easy to revert the custom tweaks, aside from having saved an untweaked copy. >There is no reason why anyone *needs* to use overrides, really. It's a >matter of want and the lack of understanding to know any other way >around the problem (or lack of thought or planning to avoid the >situation). -- Regards, Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices peter at knowhowpro.com
