replacing formats on a large scale

[jthomas666]

I've been tasked with overhauling the format and layout of our software manuals. The manuals are currently in ~800 Frame files, using a single set of formats.

Once I've created a new template, it's easy enough to use the import format function to replace the formats in a single file.

Is there any way to run that in a batch mode, to replace the formats in multiple files. I'd even consider a third party program if necessary.

Why don't you import all your .fm files in a book (I know this might be long), select them all and click File/Import/Format as you would do for a single fm file ?

I think this can be a solution. Yet, when I personnally tried to change the format of many files that way, my FM crashed. But this might due to my version, or maybe my computer hasnt got enough memory.
