Unstructured to Structured: Question about retaining paragraph formats

Tue Jul 3 05:23:48 PDT 2012

Hi Rick,

I unwrapped a few para elements and then imported the EDD as you suggested. It ended up wiping out every paragraph format in the test document. They're now all <body> again.

It was a good idea though!
Thank you,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Try this: after you wrap a few elements, choose File > Import > Element Definitions. Check the Format Rule Overrides checkbox and click Import. Does that give you the correct formatting for each element? Thanks.

Subject: Unstructured to Structured: Question about retaining paragraph formats

Hello All,

FM10 - We are converting an unstructured Frame file to Structured. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we are not able to use a conversion table (sigh).

The issue is that during the hand tagging of this file, we have to wrap the text in the element tags in para tags to match the schema.  When we wrap the text, we lose the paragraph's formatting properties. Everything turns to "body" and we have to reapply the format.

We are able to manipulate the EDD somewhat but can't stray from the structure. We've looked at Read\Write rules but they don't appear to help in this case. We've also looked at using the "TextFormatRules, ElementPgfFormatTag" options but we have more than one paragraph style that goes to an individual element.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

BTW, everything works great when a new document is created using the template, EDD, etc.

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,
Lisa Freeman
