Thomas' process advice wears the patina of experience, and Sheila's references intrigue me. I'll have to check it out.  

Don't know if this helps or not, but looks like you have a big job, and the following tip helps me. 

I use Acrobat 5.05 a lot for my FrameMaker drafts. In your case, I would use it to preserve a look-alike copy of the original. Plus, help me to see instances of paragraph tags without printing to paper. 

Are you using FrameMaker 6? Will you be creating PDFs? Do you have Acrobat 5.05? If so, are you using FrameMaker's Document > PDF Setup to define your PDF bookmarks? 

Reinhard Franke, back in May, under "Printing/Output tree hierarchy" suggested using Acrobat's File > Batch Processing and the sequence "List All Bookmarks" to display the structure of PDF's bookmarks. 

I was unaware of this functionality in Acrobat. I don't know if this exists in FrameMaker, ie. a (hierarchal) List of ... the PDF structural tags. 

There's a gotcha. On my PC, this particular Batch Sequence was not installed automatically. Look on the Acrobat CD in \sequences\ for List All Bookmarks.sequ, and copy into your C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Sequences folder. 

As far as I know, the List Of ... in FrameMaker only provides page number and does not group or display by paragraph tag. Unless you select only one paragraph tag. While in Acrobat, I can see what they look like and where they are. This is useful if the paragraph overrides have visual effects. 

To summarize - 
���a) Acrobat 5 - Batch Processing. Sequence = List All Bookmarks. 
���b) FrameMaker 6 - PDF Setup. Map paragraph tags to PDF bookmarks. 
���c) Create PDF. 
���d) Review PDF. 
���e) Locate instance of the paragraph tag in the FrameMaker document. Change, or remove override. 

Good luck, 
Brian
