Hello Frame Gurus,
I'm rather new to the list so please bear with me.
I have a book containing 12 files. Over time (starting before I ever
worked with these files), each file's paragraph style sheet has been
modified so that now the book's styles are a sea of inconsistency.
Using Paragraph
I think any method you choose depends on having one known-good file
that you can use as a template for the others. It may be a true
template or one of the chapters, but it should exist so you can clone
it to the others and enforce consistency. Depending on the version of
FM that you're running
Hi Karen,
Here is how I would approach the problem. Find the component the book that
is the most solid as far as styles. Make a copy of this and call it your
template. Delete all of the paragraph format formats in this document that
still need work, leaving only the solid formats.

Nope; just FM 7.2.
I think the warning is coming up because I printed some pages directly
from FrameMaker, but the manuals are always produced as PDFs. Wouldn't
that change the printer from Adobe PDF to the paper printer and back

That's the typical message you receive when switching printers while a
file is open. Try setting Adobe PDF as your default system printer and
seeing if that makes a difference.
If you don't want to make it the full-time default, there's a plug in
that sets it only for Frame.
