How to import customized paragraph catalog?

Hi there,

In Fm10 it is possible to define witch paragraphtags are visible in the catalog and witch are not. (format > paragraph > catalog > options > customized list).

How can I import these settings in another document? I mean: what checkboxes must be checked in the Import formats dialog (file > import > formats) to import these settings?

Kind regards,

Kees

    Kees,

    It seems we observe the same thing that happened to the attribute-based filtering settings: Invented in version x, importable only in version x+1.

    If you look at the MIF version of your documents, you will find

    <DCustomPgfList

    ...

    > # end of DCustomPgfList

    In theory the settings are part of the document properties, but importing the Document Settings does not help. Also, at the moment I don’t see this property exposed to the ExtendScript interface, so even a programmatic solution would have to create, parse and modify MIF files – ugly!

    Sorry,

    - Michael

    Open two documents: the one containing the custom paragraph tag catalog (old) you wish to export and the one you wish to import it into (new). Make the new document active. Go to File>Import>Formats and from the Import from Document pulldown choose the old document. Check the Paragraph Formats box (and whatever else you want to import) and click Import. This will append your custom tags to the paragraph catalog in the new document.
