But you'd need to do that separately for each document in a book, wouldn't you? Whereas if you use the global S&R method, you can do the entire book in one swell foop: 1. Import the new text. 2. Manually change one paragraph to the new paragraph tag (a1body). 3. Use Copy, Special, to copy the paragraph tag to the clipboard. 4. Globally search for the paragraph tag ameritem, replacing by pasting. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 for all tags. This way is fewer steps, but I suspect which one is actually easier depends on the exact situation. Bob "Let what comes come, Let what goes go, Find out what remains" --Sri Ramana Maharshi

Howard, Whoa. Stop. You are doing this the hard way. And you don't have to do a global S&R. There is a much easier way. 1. Import the new text. 2. Click on any paragraph with the ameritem tag. 3. in the para designer, replace the name ameritem with the name albody. 4. Click Update All. Do NOT click Apply. 5. Frame will display a confirmation box saying "Rename all ameritem tags to allbody. Click Yes. Now all the ameritem tags are renamed to albody, but do not yet have the albody format. 6. Click any of the _original_ paragraphs that is tagged albody. 7. Click Update All. Click Yes in the confirmation doalog box. Now, all of the allbody text is the same, including the imported text. Repeat steps 2-7 for each imported tag. Hope this helps.
