Limit Find/Change

[Alan Houser]

I don't believe anybody has proposed doing this with the Paragraph 
Designer. Here's how I usually globally change paragraph formats:

- Park cursor on a "Body" paragraph.
- In the Paragraph Designer, key in (type, do _not_ select from the 
drop-down) "Body Text"
- Click "Update All"

FrameMaker prompts "Do you want to change all "Body" formats to "Body 
Text"? Yes, you do.

You may need to find an "original" Body Text element, park your cursor 
there, and do an "Update All" to sync the formatting properties between 
"Old" and "New" Body Text paragraphs.

This procedure is from memory (I'm not sitting at FrameMaker to confirm 
it), but it should give you or others enough detail to try the approach.
