Reasigning styles

[Guest]

I recently migrated a FrameMaker/WebWorks/DreamWeaver project to RoboHelp. Most of it went well, however, I have about 1000 topics that have styles assigned from a DreamWeaver created .css that are not acceptable to RoboHelp, namely style names with underscores. I can change the .css but is there a global way to reasign styles to the paragraphs without going into each topic and reasigning styles to each of the paragraphs?

Only after making a backup to avoid things blowing up in your face.

Use a multi file find and replace tool other than the one supplied with RH. Like many such tools, that only searches one line of text. You need something like FAR from http://www.helpware.net/FAR or BKReplaceEm (free Google it). FAR is a better tool with a good trial period. Most folks who have used it stick with it and use it regularly for various things.
