Thanks. That was my understanding, but wanted to confirm that I wasn't
missing something.

Thanks Alan. I hadn't thought of using the para designer to apply
properties
to multiple tags. That does explain the possible use of AsIs in that
context. Sure would be cool to be able to assign that to the tag itself
and
inherit from the underlying "document" properties!

Hi Scott,
The paragraph designer "as-is" properties are useful for changing
properties on multiple paragraph formats. You can change a property (or
properties) on multiple paragraph formats at once, while leaving all
other
properties unchanged.
Alas, however, if you select a single paragraph, set the paragraph
designer to "as-is", change any property, and apply the change, all
paragraph properties in the designer revert to the settings of the
selected
paragraph.

Hi...
As far as I can tell, there's no way to assign "As Is" to a para tag
property definition. You can do it for char tags (and conditions), but
even
though "As Is" is a valid option in many of the para tag properties,
there's
no way to actually assign this value. Yes?
I've seen this value in the para tag properties for as long as I can
remember, and didn't think much of it, but I'm wondering why these
values
exist in the para tag property lists, if they can't be used or set.
*If* there was some way to define an underlying "document" property for
items like font or color, then it would make sense for a para tag to
have an
"As Is" value so it would inherit from the document defaults. In fact,
there
are such document properties, but the only way I know of to change them
is
to do it via the FDK or MIF (??). So, in theory, para tags could make
use of
an As Is value .. but I don't think you can set this value.
I'm hoping that I've just missed this feature after all these years ..
can someone explain why and how?
Thanks!
