When I rename a paragraph style can I automatically apply it to the paragraphs using the old style?

[MackDuff]

I am using RoboHelp 8.

I want to rename a paragraph style from Body to Bodytext (because the new css we have to use uses Bodytext).

When I rename the Body style to Bodytext, all my body text switches to the Normal paragraph style.

Is there no way to automatically apply the Bodytext style to all paragraphs that were using the Body style?

I am trying to avoid having to apply the style to each paragraph individually which would take forever.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Sorry but there isn't an automatic way.

You will need to fix this using a multi-file find and replace tool.

If you look at the HTML you will see something like <p class="body">.

Search for that and replace with <p class="bodytext">

Make sure you create a copy of the project before you start.
