Framemaker keeps deleting text overrides ... and I hate it.

I am using Framemaker with a .MIF file. This file has a lot of custom formatting. Sometimes text is bold, sometimes it is italic ... here is the issue:

1. We have software that creates a .MIF file to use in Framemaker, and that MIF file has a bunch of paragraphs tagged with very specific paragraph tag names.
2. We have a template that has every paragraph tag in these MIF files we export defined.
3. The problem is when there is a paragraph that has the entire content of the paragraph as a specific character override. If the text of the entire paragraph is bold, but the imported paragraph format does not have that style, then it removes the custom bold style.
4. If there are multiple styles, then it leaves them in

What should I do?

I put this into ChatGPT and got this answer:

1. Adjust your template: If the imported MIF files consistently use specific character styles, you could modify your template to include those character styles in the definition of the corresponding paragraph styles. This way, the custom formatting will be preserved when the MIF files are imported. Alternatively, you could modify the paragraph styles in the imported MIF files to match the ones in your template, though this may be more time-consuming if you have many files to work with.
2. Apply character styles after import: If modifying the template or the imported MIF files is not feasible, you could apply the necessary character styles to the affected paragraphs after importing the MIF files into FrameMaker. You can do this by selecting the affected text and applying the appropriate character style from the Character Designer. This approach can be more time-consuming, but may be necessary if the custom formatting is critical.
3. Use a script: If you have many MIF files to work with and applying character styles manually is not practical, you could consider using a script to automate the process. A script could search for specific character styles in the imported MIF files and apply the corresponding paragraph styles from your template. This approach requires some programming skills, but could save time in the long run.

If the actual answer is to use a script ... I'll be sad.

Thanks in advance!
