Hi Scott,
The paragraph designer "as-is" properties are useful for changing
properties on multiple paragraph formats. You can change a property (or
properties) on multiple paragraph formats at once, while leaving all
other properties unchanged.
Alas, however, if you select a single paragraph, set the paragraph
designer to "as-is", change any property, and apply the change, all
paragraph properties in the designer revert to the settings of the
selected paragraph.

Hi...
As far as I can tell, there's no way to assign "As Is" to a para tag
property definition. You can do it for char tags (and conditions), but
even though "As Is" is a valid option in many of the para tag
properties, there's no way to actually assign this value. Yes?
I've seen this value in the para tag properties for as long as I can
remember, and didn't think much of it, but I'm wondering why these
values exist in the para tag property lists, if they can't be used or
set.
*If* there was some way to define an underlying "document" property
for items like font or color, then it would make sense for a para tag
to have an "As Is" value so it would inherit from the document
defaults. In fact, there are such document properties, but the only
way I know of to change them is to do it via the FDK or MIF (??). So,
in theory, para tags could make use of an As Is value .. but I don't
think you can set this value.
I'm hoping that I've just missed this feature after all these years ..
can someone explain why and how?
Thanks!
