Quick way to replace an attribute for all the same type of elements

Hello all!

I am a new user of a structured application.

I have a FM document with thousands of "Para" elements with the "Center" attribute. I want to quickly change the attribute from "Center" to "Left" for all "Para" elements.

Is there a quick way to replace an attribute for all the same type of elements in a document?

 

Thanks in advance!

Igor

    You can easily change the attributes of an element using the Find/Change dialog.
    Refer to the FrameMaker online manual.
