Global Search and Replace

[Jennifer Randel]

Hi, Ben. 
I have used Silicon Prairie Software's Paragraph Tools plug-in for this
in the past. Here's a blurb from their paragraph tools doc:

"If you want to change the paragraph tag applied to paragraphs
throughout a
FrameMaker document, you could use Frame's search-and-replace operation.
This would be a time-consuming process. Paragraph Tools allows you to
create
a list of paragraph tags and the tag you would like to convert them to.
Paragraph Tools will use the conversion document to convert the
paragraphs
in the current document or book."

This has worked well for me and it only costs about $10. For more info,
you can go to their site: http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com

Hope this helps, 
Jennifer

Frame Gang,

I'm sure this has been asked/answered before, but is there a way to
globally replace one paragraph tag with another in a book file?  For
example, I have a tag called "X-1" and I want to replace it with "A-3".

Or would I be better off just changing the X-1 paragraph tag
characteristics to match the A-3 tag and re-importing the X-1 tag
throughout the book.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
--Ben
