[Framers] OT: Word to XML

[Lynne A. Price]

Craig,
     Many, many years ago, my father laughed at a recipe in one of my 
mom's cookbooks which concluded something like, "bake for 20 minutes, 
more or less, it all depends". Same thing here, it all depends, but this 
time we might at least give a clue about what the dependencies are. 
There are at least a couple of advantages of Create and Apply Formats in 
some cases:

1) When there are lots of untagged overrides, C&A F gives you a starting 
point for distinguishing formats that have overrides from those that don't
2) When the overrides fall into distinct groups, C&A F let's you 
distinguish the groups without having to inspect them one at a time.

Mostly these will be nothing meaningful, and then you can set these ranges to the default format desired, easily done since they are highlighted by the search action. This should allow you to get rid of the overrides that would create the numbered formats that Lynn describes and gives you the chance to standardize all your formats to those you've defined as desirable.
