A problem with just importing formats is that all the old formats are left in the files. You'll need to get hold of Paragraph Tools first. Try this: 1 For each file in the old format create a new empty file in the new format. (The new file does not contain any content at all.) 2 In the old file, select all, copy, and paste into the corresponding file in the new format. This leaves all the old formats behind and does not contaminate the Paragraph catalogue, Character catalogue, etc. in the new format. 3 With Paragraph Tools: a) Create a list of para tags actually used. b) Create a list of para tags in the catalogue. c) Create a conversion table that maps tags used to tags in catalogue. d) Rename the tags used to the names in the catalogue. 4 File > Import > Format from the current document. You can do likewise for character formats and table formats with Character Tools and Table Tools.
