Migrating contents to a new template

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Garnier,

If not only the formatting changed but also the format names
I recommend these tools:

Best value for money is Template Mapper from Cudspan:
http://www.cudspan.net/plugins/executioner.php?do=displayPage&field_tab_num=2

A not so convenient alternative would be 
FindChangeSpecial from Rick Quatro:
http://www.frameexpert.com/plugins/findchangespecial/index.htm
If you want to use this plugin, you should collect all
files in a super-book first.

Or you could ask someone to write a FrameScript script
for you:

(Of course there are also others who develop scripts.)

Best regards

Winfried
