Way to apply style to * paragraphs

[Rebecca Officer]

Hi Linda

Is the problem that paragraphs don't have the right paragraph tag? For example, have you got a heap of headings that have been tagged with Body and then overridden to look like headings? If so, you can use search and replace to fix at least some of it.


1.       Use FM's copy special to copy the correct paragraph tag

2.       use Framemaker's search to find the wrong ones, by searching by its font settings, then

3.       use the Change "by pasting" option to apply the right paragraph tag.

Hope this helps
Rebecca

I'm working with a large book from a client (66 chapters, 2500+ pages) that has numerous paragraphs that show an * next to the style name.

>From what I've seen, and of course, I've not looked at every page of every file, the styles are in paragraph catalog, but apparently are not applied properly. One of my tasks is to generally clean up the style usage to make it consistent.

Before doing that cleanup (with plug-ins and scripts), I'd like to get all the styles properly applied to each paragraph. Does anyone know of an automated way to do this?

Thanks!
