Hi all,

I have a question about FrameMaker 8 to which I cannot find an answer.

Can I rename a Paragraph Tag across all files in a book? For example, I have a Paragraph Tag in each of my chapters named "SysResponse" that I want to rename to "System Response". I know that I can do this by going into each file and renaming the tag manually. However, I'm curious to know if I can do this once and apply it across all files so that the "SysResponse" tag renames to "System Response" automatically wherever it occurs.

If this is possible, it would save so much time; I need to rename several tags (Paragraph, Character, and Table) in preparation for a template transition/clean up. I'd even be willing to do it in an alternate way, such as doing a find and replace in a .MIF file, if this is what I need to do.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Chris
