Changed a format's tab stop & imported to 2nd doc--but 2nd doc's tab stop doesn't change

[cewinch at aep.com]

Hello all,

I've got a FM book with several documents in it. In document A, I changed 
a tab stop in my Header paragraph format--intending that I would then 
import formats into each of the other documents in the book. Naturally, 
I'm expecting that once I've done so, the header's tab stop would have 
automatically changed because I'd imported and therefore replaced its 
format. (Yes, the format's name is the same in all documents.)

So--after changing the format in document A, I saved document A and then 
switched to document B (already open), hit File>Import>Formats, selected 
document A, selected (only) Paragraph Formats, and hit Import. But when I 
check the header in document B, the tab stop has remained the same. :-(

I even tried importing both Paragraph Formats and Page Layouts...to no 
avail.

What am I missing here?

In case this makes any difference, I'm running FM 8.0p277 on Windows XP.

Thanks?
Connie
