First of all, thanks to all who responded.

Perhaps "stylistic differences" would be a better choice of words here. 
I agree with you anyways, just as I didn't want to have to create the
list by hand, which is what my 'boss' (who supposedly knows Frame), had
suggested I do. <sigh>

Correct in the first part.  One thing I should have made clear was that
I had no part in creating the para formats, just debugging them.

Thanks, the other thing I should have made clear was that the only form
of manual I've got on hand is Adobe's Classroom in a Book: FrameMaker
5.5, and the online help.  As I'm just at the first draft stage I may go
for the quick and dirty and the clean it up for the final.

Actually I rejoined framers(@frameuser.com) just prior to re-joining
techwr-l, and posted my question to both lists.

Thus far I've only seen responses from techwr-l.  I guess techwr-l'ers
are a more dedicated breed. <g>
