What is the quickest way to incorporate a new template's styles into an existing template?

Guest
Mar 14, 2012 Mar 14, 2012

Recently my company have developed a new template. I am creating a document using much content which already exists in an older template with different paragraph styles, table formats and page formats. What is the quickest way to incorporate the new styles so I don't have to individually update the table contents. The paragraph catelog and tables have different titles in the two documents.

Thanks,

Niall.

The quickest way is to use Chris Despopolous' Template Mapper tool. It's available from IG5 Solutions:

Do you know where I can find a copy of Template Mapper? I went to http://ig5authoringtools.com/plugin-directory/single-sourcing/templatemapper/ and it is not there.

Thanks in advance

Jackie,

It looks like Andy Lewis is now concentrating on the DITAtoo tool and seems to have given up his earlier endeavours. I've sent Chris a message asking about whose handling Template Mapper these days.
