Grant subsequently kindly sent me a demo file, and this fix does indeed work...

...for unstructured FrameMaker. But when applied in structured FrameMaker, it appears not to. We cannot work out why this should be, but in my test file I was careful to prevent the EDD applying a para format to override the para tag described in step 1 above.

Does anyone have any idea why this should be, and/or a possible workaround?
