How to apply new templates to legacy FrameMaker documents?

Hi vmugdha,

With FrameMaker 6/7/8/9 you can update existing formats.

That means, format names did not change, only their defnition.

You do this with File | Import | Formats.

Helpful is here e.g. Rick Quatro's ImportFormatsSpecial:

When also format names changed, you need something which maps old formats

to new formats. As already mentioned, Cudspan's TemplateMapper can do this:

Helpful is also Rick Quatro's FindChangeSpecial:

Easy! Create your new template. Then open the file you want to change and

use File> Import> Formats to pull the new template into the old document. To

batch process it, create a book that contains all the files you want to

change. Select them all, and then use File> Import> Formats.
