<p>Hi Nancy,</p>
<p>I repeated these actions with one of my files - everything's ok and fine.</p>
<p>I have FM 10 with all updates on Win XP.</p>
<p>Could you supply the file?</p>
<p>Best regards -</p>
<p>Tino H. Haida, Berlin</p>

<div>Hi, Harro.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I finally went manually through each paragraph format and changed the font from TimesNewRoman to Arial and used Update All and that solved the problem. The system does have Arial, and most of the paragraphs did not have overrides.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did a further test:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For clarity: The file that seems impervious to alterations to paragraph tags, whether through .mif or Import, is ImperviousFile.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The file that I use for creating and then exporting a clean paragraph tag is called AddFormats. In other words, if I want to modify a paragraph tag in one or more .fm files, I create the clean tag in AddFormats and then import it from AddFormats into my .fm files.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In my test I:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Deleted all paragraph tags from AddFormats.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Successfully imported all the paragraph tags from ImperviousFile.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Deleted all paragraph tags except Title from AddFormats. (This is the chapter title para tag.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4. Changed the color of Title to red.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5. Imported para tags only from AddFormats to ImperviousFile.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Result: The chapter title did not change color and the Title para tag did not change attributes!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have edited ImperviousFile and saved it, so it is not locked.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> What the heck is going on?</div>
</div>
