In FM 2015 there is an option at import to define what styles are used.

For v12 as one idea, you could:

1. import to your template
2. click in first instance of Normal
3. apply Body
4. click in second instance of Normal
5. open Paragraph Designer
6. manually change the name "Normal" in the designer by typing in "Body"
7. click Update All
8. confirm that you want to rename all Normal to Body
9. click in the 'original' and first 'Body' tag (from step 3)
10. click Update All, confirm if needed


Not pretty but it lets you get to the Body format you want.

Subject: [Framers] Frame2015 (and 12) change paragraph format for paragraph
format

   Dear All,

   I'm using a set template to import Word into Frame and on occasion,
   Frame seems to be importing the Body paragraph format from Word as
   Normal, rather than transferring it into the Body format in Frame.

   Is there a way to get Frame to change one paragraph format into
   another, rather than just the obvious options of replacing it with a
   character format?

   Many thanks,

   Ant
