Subject: [Framers] Best way to import/add select paragraph formats?

Hello,

More and more, the tech writing team I'm on needs to important just specific
Character Formats and Paragraph Formats into a file or set of files.

Searching through the archives, I found the method below suggested by Fred
Ritter. 

Is this still the best way to accomplish this goal, or does anyone know of a
better method or tool that's been discovered or developed in the meantime?

Many thanks in advance!

Fred Ridder's technique:

1) Copy any paragraph of the desired format from the source file.
2) Paste it into the target file.
3) Use the Paragraph Designer to add the paragraph format to the current
file's catalog.
4) Delete the pasted paragraph.


Stay well,

   I've used the Character Tools and Paragraph Tools utilities from
   Silicon Prairie Software,
   [1]https://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html.
   And although you didn't ask about variables, I've always found that if
   I'm managing character and paragraph formats, I always need to manage
   variables, too. And for that, I highly recommend the BookVars plugin
   from Leximation: [2]https://leximation.com/tools/info/bookvars.php.
