But surely somehow the para tags get mapped to elements for PDF output? <div>When I publish a procedure to PDF, suppose I want the steps to have 0pt above, 6pt after, etc - the stuff I usually set up in the paragraph designer.

Hi John,<br>
<br>
In a structured FrameMaker document, the users don't deal directly with<br>
paragraph (character, table) formats anyway, so there is no practical reason<br>
to delete any.<br>

Subject: Re: greenfield and new structure<br>
<br>
I made great progress today. I was able to open the DITA files and get them<br>
pretty consistent with new master pages, etc.<br>
I see two issues right now that I cannot figure out:<br>
* I want to get rid of many, many paragraph formats that I won't need, but I<br>
don't know if it is safe to do that, or if it will break something.<br>
* I have many topics that I want to nest as H2s under H1s, etc, and I cannot<br>
see how to do that, but today was only my first day so I am sure I will get<br>
there.<br>
I am grateful for the progress I have made, but I wish I had some<br>
documentation!<br>
I tried the Yahoo group and Yahoo won't let me in with my old credentials -<br>
I'll resolve that tomorrow. It's getting late here in Boston!<br>
