RE: FM8: Renaming a para format throughout a book?
John Sgammato In FM8, is there a convenient way to rename a paragraph format throughout a book? For example, I want to rename Heading 1 to Heading1. I can do it in one chapter, but importing the file across the book simply adds the new format, while leaving the other in place. I haven't seen FM8 -- I assume the Paragraph Designer's Global Update still work only at the file level. There are several plug-ins that would make short work of this, but you can get most of the way there with a book-level Find/Replace (after importing the new pgf format to all files in the book): 1) Put the cursor in a Heading1 pgf and select Edit Copy Special Paragraph Format. 2) Select Edit Find/Change (Ctrl+F). 3) For Find, select Paragraph Tag and to the right enter Heading 1. For Change, select By Pasting. Set Look In to Book. 4) Click Find and verify that it found a Heading 1 pgf. Click Change and verify that the format was changed to Heading1. 5) Click Change Find a few times until you're comfortable that it's working as intended. Then click Change All. Of course, the Heading 1 format remains in the catalog of all files, but it's no longer applied to anything. You can delete the format itself at your leisure as you work on the files. HTH!
