Stupid question #843: Importing a SINGLE paragraph style from another FM file?

[Everette, Dimi]

Or you can:

1.       Right-click in any paragraph with the desired format in the source file and select Copy Special > Copy Paragraph Format.

2.       Go to the target file and select the paragraph you want to apply the format to.

3.       Right-click and select Paste (or just CTRL-V without right-clicking).

4.       With your cursor still in the paragraph, open the Paragraph Designer.

5.       Click Apply, which causes the New Format dialog to appear.

6.       Click Create to store the format in the paragraph catalog and reapply it to the selection.  (You can deselect the Apply to Selection checkbox before clicking Create if you want to.)

The same steps work for copying character formats, except:

2. Go to the target file and select the word or words you want to apply the format to.
4. With your cursor still in the word, open the Character Designer.
6. [of course you're storing the format in the character catalog]


Regards,
Dimi

1) Copy any paragraph of the desired format from the source file.
2) Paste it into the target file.
3) Use the Character Designer to add the paragraph format to the current file's catalog.
4) Delete the pasted paragraph.
