Still struggling to tidy up third-party files … the author has created a number of style with the names in our Style Guide, but defined as hybrid paragraph/character styles instead of paragraph styles. As a result, our search/replace routines aren't working as expected: they apply the style as a character style to the tag that's been found, when we want to apply a paragraph style.



Question, then: how do I change a hybrid style to a simple paragraph style?

Thanks in advance!

Hi eNGiNe,

You can't change a character Style to a paragraph Style. What you'll need to do is:
• replace all paragraphs containing the mis-defined character Style with a temporary paragraph Style
• delete the mis-defined character Style
• create a new correctly-defined paragraph Style
• replace the temporary paragraph Style with the correct paragraph Style.
