Re: Importing Formats - Why don't all Character Formats convert?
Have you tried checking the remove overrides option? If a paragraph has manual formatting and you don't check that option, the manual formatting will remain.

Importing Formats - Why don't all Character Formats convert?
Framemaker 12 Windows 7 Professional (v 6.1) Hi everyone, We have several Framemaker 12 licenses on our staff (on a Windows 7 platform), and all of us seem to be repeatedly having this same problem, even with previous versions of Framemaker. When converting styles from a new template into a current document, it seems to work perfectly, except not all the Character Formats carry over. For example, the Paragraph tag within a chapter file would all be the same for Head1, but the character format for that tag converts correctly for some headings and not others. I then have to manually fix the other headings and Update All. One workaround we came up with is to first import everything except Variables, Paragraph Formats, and Character Formats. We then go back again and only import Paragraph Formats and Character Formats (see screenshot below). I know this sounds like a silly workaround, but this remains a mystery to be solved. Any thoughts?

RE: Importing Formats - Why don't all Character Formats convert?
Robert, I think you just answered our question. The answer is NO, I did not have the While Updating Remove: Other Format/Layout Overrides box checked in the Import Formats dialog box. That makes perfect sense. Hopefully, this will do it! :-) -Original Message- From: robert.lauris...@gmail.com [mailto:robert.lauris...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Robert Lauriston Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2015 11:02 AM To: Linda Garneau; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Importing Formats - Why don't all Character Formats convert?
