When you say "edit/update Char and Para tags" are you referring to the formatting associated with the tags, or to the tags themselves (e.g., their names and/or how they are applied)? <BR>
<BR>
If it's the former, it's really quite easy:<BR>
<BR>
1) Update the format definitions in one file. This can be any file: a file from the book, a file from a different book, or a separate template file. Save the file but leave it open.<BR>
2) From the book window, select the component files that need to be updated.<BR>
3) Choose File>Import>Formats, and select only the Character and Paragraph formats in the dialog. <BR>
4) Click Import. <BR>
5) After a few moments to a few minutes (depending on the number of files and how long it takes to open each of them), you'll be all done. <BR>
<BR>
Note that this process will change the formats for all tags that appear in both the "source" (template) and "target" (document) files, and will add any new formats that are in the template. It will not delete unused formats, and it will not change the names of any tags, and it will not map any existing tags to new ones. To do any of those things, you will need either a plug-in or FrameScript plus an appropriate script (or a lot of time and patience to do it by hand).<BR>
