And there are several FrameScripts out there that purge all catalogs for a
squeaky-clean import without any overlooked tags.

If the paragraph/character tag names are all the same in the new 
template, you can select all the files in the book and then import the 
formats. Any formats that are the same name will be overwritten. Any in 
the old document that don't exist in the new template, will be left 
untouched, and any formats that exist in the new template, but not the 
document, will be added. This could leave you with formats that you no 
longer want and would want to manually delete.


The Paragraph Tools and Character Tools plugins 
fromhttp://siliconprairiesoftware.com 
let you create a conversion list that 
can rename formats from one name to another in a single stroke, making 
it easy to import from a new template that has different format names.

Re: [Framers] Best way to replace one template with another without using plugins?

2016-04-12 Thread Robert Lauriston 
The right way to do it is to have all paragraph and character tags have the
same names. Then you can just import formats without deleting anything.

If things aren't so well organized:

To change all format B to format A, removing format B from catalog:

   - change Paragraph Tag A to Ax, Update All, OK
   - change Paragraph Tag B to A, Update All, OK
   - change Paragraph Tag Ax to A, Update All, OK
   - Update All (again), OK, Remove Overrides

To change all format B to format A, leaving format B in catalog:

   - save a scratch copy of document with a different name
   - change Paragraph Tag B to A, Update All, OK
   - open scratch copy
   - return to original document
   - File / Import / Formats, select scratch copy, make sure Paragraph
   Formats (or Character Formats) and Other Format/Layout Overrides are
   checked, click Import

Import formats is bookwide.

You would import all formats for all files in a book.

The problem is that all of the paragraph and character tags need to have 
exactly the same name.
If this is the case, why would you manually delete all tags and formats?

Subject: [Framers] Best way to replace one template with another without using

What is the best way to replace on template with another using only FrameMaker 
12?
Can it be done bookwide?

As of now I manually delete all tags and formats and do an Import Formats, and 
it works, but it is cumbersome and prone to errors. Can it be done otherwise?
