Well, I won't go into any discussion of how many hours of your time you would need to save to pay for the $200 cost of Template Mapper... You are not doomed to a paragraph-by-paragraph reformatting exercise. Start by identifying the mapping of old styles to new. For all cases of 1-to-1 mappings (exactly one old style maps to a particular new style) just rename the old style before you import the new template and its formatting. For cases where more than one old style maps to a new style, you can rename only one of the old styles (pick the most prevalent one) and you'll need to retag the the remaining paragraphs to the new style name. Then once everything is tagged with new names, simply import the new template. Not terrible, but the tool would be faster and much less boring. _________________________________________________________________ Change the world with e-mail.
