<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">First was to create books that were containers for the content files in all the folders, and do the apply format. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">The second was to ping Rick Quatro (I'm 90% sure it was Rick, but it could have been another script wizard) to run up a FrameScript that worked its way through the directory structure and did an apply formats to whatever it found with an .fm extension. I believe the script also did a copy operation at the beginning of the script, so we'd have a backup of the original source to fall back to if necessary.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We tried a few manually, then opted for the script solution. Saved so much time it didn't require thinking about.</div>
