This is my challenge...I have numerous files [Book 1] authored using one set of sytles [Book 1 styles] and I now have a new set of template styles that were developed to author a new book [Book 2].  I would like to update Book 1 to use the same styles as used for Book 2.  Because of the volume of files contained in Book 1 it would be time consuming to open each file and manually update/change the styles.  My goal is to do a batch or global change for Book 1 styles to Book 2 styles.  Has anyone accomplished this successfully or is it even feasible?  Is it better to manipulate the styles in MIF format?  What is the best expected results of doing this, some level of post conversion clean up is expected. 

Thanks for your comments in advance.  LF
