Importing paragraph formats

[Baruch Brodersen]

Tim,

Yes. You can do import single paragraph, character, and conditional text
formats with a MIF fragment. To do that:

Save the FM file containing the paragraph format you want as a MIF file.
Use MIF Browse to locate, select and copy the paragraph format.
http://www.wideman-one.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm

Paste that MIF code in a text editor. In addition to the paragraph format,
you'll also need the

<PgfCatalog
 <Pgf

tags, as well as the

 > # end of Pgf
> # end of PgfCatalog
## End of MIFFile

closing tags

In the text file, make sure to include a MIFFILE header is at the top of the
page. It should look something like this:
"<MIFFile 7.00> # Generated by FrameMaker 7.0p579" You can grab a MIFFILe
header from any MIF file and use that.
Save the MIF fragment, and then open it in FrameMaker. It should appear as a
blank page.
Import in paragraph formats from the MIF fragment into the Frame document.
Voila.

If you run into problems, send me the file and I'll make one for you.

best,
