If every single paragraph arrives with mysterious tags, and these tags consistently identify required formats, you can use the tags for search/replace. 1. Apply the required FM format to the first occurrence 2. Use Edit > Copy special > Paragraph format to save the format to the clipboard 3. Use Find/Change with the tag as the Find text and the "by pasting" option for the change. 4. Repeat as necessary <vbg> If you're feeling strong or lucky, you can then try a wildcard search/replace to get rid of all the tags now their work is done. Alternatively (perhaps more elegantly) and very much dependent on the content, you might want to consider mml. There is information on this in the online Helps.
