[Framers] Para tag "As Is" property?

[Scott Prentice]

Hi...

As far as I can tell, there's no way to assign "As Is" to a para tag 
property definition. You can do it for char tags (and conditions), but 
even though "As Is" is a valid option in many of the para tag 
properties, there's no way to actually assign this value. Yes?

I've seen this value in the para tag properties for as long as I can 
remember, and didn't think much of it, but I'm wondering why these 
values exist in the para tag property lists, if they can't be used or set.

*If* there was some way to define an underlying "document" property for 
items like font or color, then it would make sense for a para tag to 
have an "As Is" value so it would inherit from the document defaults. In 
fact, there are such document properties, but the only way I know of to 
change them is to do it via the FDK or MIF (??). So, in theory, para 
tags could make use of an As Is value .. but I don't think you can set 
this value.

I'm hoping that I've just missed this feature after all these years .. 
can someone explain why and how?

Thanks!
