Re: Limit Find/Change
I don't believe anybody has proposed doing this with the Paragraph Designer. Here's how I usually globally change paragraph formats: - Park cursor on a "Body" paragraph. - In the Paragraph Designer, key in (type, do _not_ select from the drop-down) "Body Text" - Click "Update All" FrameMaker prompts "Do you want to change all "Body" formats to "Body Text"? Yes, you do. You may need to find an "original" Body Text element, park your cursor there, and do an "Update All" to sync the formatting properties between "Old" and "New" Body Text paragraphs. This procedure is from memory (I'm not sitting at FrameMaker to confirm it), but it should give you or others enough detail to try the approach. -Alan --- Alan Houser Group Wellesley, Inc.

RE: framers Digest, Vol 114, Issue 15 - Re: Limit Find/Change
HI John, I do this often when converting between different templates. But I use FM's Find dialog box with Wildcards turned on and with Consider Case turned on. I do a search for Body para tag by entering ^Body$ when searching for Paragraph Tag. The carat (^) defines the beginning of the search sting and the dollar sign ($) defines its end, so that you don't find other para tags beginning with Body, such as Body Text or BodyBeforeList. Since FM's search is case sensitive, I also turn on the "Consider Case" button - just to be on the safe side. Then I continue to "Change" the "Body" para tag to "Body Text" para tag "By Pasting" the Body Text para tag (assuming you did a special copy >Paragraph Tag while standing on that P tag). Hope this helps, Orly -- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 16:45:56 -0400 From: john.x.pos...@us.hsbc.com To: framers Subject: Limit Find/Change Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi, guys...I'm putting in a couple of days to clean up some inconsistencies in my documentation template and styles.

RE: Limit Find/Change
Hi John, (I use FrameMaker 11. In other versions that might be different.) There is an easy solution: In your search dialog select Paragraph Tag. Activate Wildcards. Enter this in your Search box: Body$ Then click on Find. The $ limits the search to only those matches where the preceeding word is at the end of a line. Obviously the paragraph tag counts as a line. Similarly you could add ^ before the search term, if the search term should be the first in a line. You do not need to rename any paragraph tags.
