   Thank you Bernard and Lin,

   Both very helpful workarounds.

   This list is GOOD.

   Best regards,

   Ant

 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

[Lin Sims]

Assuming I've understood correctly that you want to retag all paragraphs
that are tagged as Normal to Body:


   1. Tag a paragraph with the correct paragraph tag (the one you want to
   change TO, in this case, Body)
   2. Open the Paragraph Designer
   3. Commands > Global Update Option
   4. Select All Properties and All Tagged
   5. In the drop-down for All Tagged, select the name of the incorrect
   paragraph tag (the one you want to change FROM, in this case, Normal)
   6. Click Update
   7. Choose Retain or Remove Overrides (this depends on what you're doing)


All paragraphs that were tagged as Normal will now be tagged as Body. Note
that you have to do this on a file-by-file basis, but at least it's not on
a paragraph-by-paragraph basis.
