Where can I find a list of the new "enhanced" paragraphs styles?

I'm starting a new project, making a book which will become an ebook. I want to begin with the new Framemaker 12 Smart Catalogue enhancements by using some sample or template document.

My problem? None of the book templates use the enhanced catalogue. The templates which do use the enhanced catalgoue are thr Reference Card, Parts Catalogue and User Manual. If I use any of these as templates, I will have to do a lot of work to get rid of all the fancy formatting.

Is there a place where I can get a complete-ish LIST of the paragraph tag names?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, there is no master list. If you have the Silicon Prairie "Tools" utilities, you can compile your own lists. See: Silicon Prairie - FrameMaker Products

The best approach is to simply use the Copy Special to pick up the paragraph and character styles that you want to add to your new template and build the template piecemeal, i.e. create one FM file for your tables, another for your page layouts/sizes, another for your tags, cross-refs, etc. Then combine those as required to build the final template. This Lego-like approach is much more flexible and allows you to modify base-components and quickly make a new brand new template.

Arnis, this was a brilliant suggestion!

From Silicon Prairie Software, I obtained a licence for Paragraph Tools and installed to my Frame 12 directory. Then I opened up the Reference Card template (show sample) and ran the Generate Paragraph Tag Report, saved it and converted to pdf with Heading1 bookmarked.

Voilà! Perfect.
