Default Replace style indenting with tabs in the style then apply to docu

On 2008-01-14 21:01:01 -0600, Lyn said:

I have a large document 260 pages and we are exporting it (or importing it)
to a EDMS. The problem is that to successfully import in the EDMs it needs to
have carriage returns (the easy bit) and tabs to indent levels correctly.
Currently the style is Normal+indent:Left 1.27cm, First Line:1.27cm, Space
befo 0pt, Space after:0pt.

I created a new style saying Normal+Tabs 1.27cm Left automatically update.

I thought I could apply this in place of the other style but it doens't put
in the tab unless I do it manually which is what I am trying to avoid. Anyone
have any ideas on what we could do to avoid manually changing 260 pages.
Many thanks Lyn


use find and replace. search for the style. it should find only the
styled paragraphs, replace with ^p and the thing you found. "thing you
found" is a special search option. you will see it when select more
options in the find and replace dialog.

let me know.
