RE: DocBook

If you can hold off a couple of weeks Adobe will be releasing a Frame DITA application of their own. It'll be in beta form in a couple of weeks. This might give the both the opportunity to work within structured FrameMaker AND to evaluate how DITA could fit into your workflow. Regards Mark

Re: Remove a paragraph format from a book

No there isn't a single command, but it's very easy and just takes a minute or three. You can use the Import Formats command or a tag management tool such as Clean Import to impose a set of paragraphs from a document that doesn't contain your target paragraph tag. That, in effect, means that
