Hi Eric, You can't do this with the conversion table method. I would pre-process the file and retag you heading_2 paragraphs, based on their content. Then you can modify your conversion table to use the renamed heading_2 tags. Follow these basic steps:
1) Click in one of the heading_2 paragraphs. 2) Use the Paragraph Designer to create a new format for this particular heading_2 paragraph. 3) With your cursor in the newly tagged paragraph, choose Edit > Copy Special > Paragraph Format. 4) Choose Edit > Find/Change. Type in the unique string that you want to search on; for example FUNCTION NAME. In the Change popup, choose By Pasting. 5) Click Find and Change a few instances. If you are sure that your Find string is unique and will only find text in heading_2 paragraphs, click Change All. Repeat with the other 2 heading_2 paragraphs. If you want to automate this with FrameScript, please send me a sample document and contact me offlist. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

I have a hideously embarrassingly easy question to ask. At least I think so? What is the best way to map a single paragraph style (for example, heading_2) to differently named containers depending on the content of the paragraph style (text). For example: heading_2 FUNCTION NAME [...] heading_2 Prototype [...] heading_2 Return Value [...] Where above is paragraph style name followed by text associated with the paragraph style, and [...] is whatever following the headings. It would be delicious to be able to map: heading_2 to element FUNCTION_Name iff text of heading_2 = "FUNCTION NAME" heading_2 to element Proto iff text of heading_2="Prototype" etc. To be avoided is changing all the heading_2's by hand to new names to match their element. Is there a way to do this that's, like, easy? I'd be open to an automated way of changing the paragraph style names to match their text, actually, now that I think about it... are there Frame utilities allowing such a thing? Any and all help appreciated, else I might just lose my hair. Via pulling. And that's bad. ================ EzG ================ _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as rick at rickquatro.com.
