If you open pgfcat.mif in a FrameMaker product, you’ll see that the Paragraph Catalog contains a single 
paragraph format called 1Heading. If you supply a Paragraph Catalog, the paragraph formats in your 
catalog replace those in the default catalog; they do not supplement the default formats.

If you do not supply a Paragraph Catalog in a MIF file, the MIF interpreter provides a default Paragraph 
Catalog with predefined paragraph formats. 

If a Pgf statement provides only the name of a paragraph format, the MIF interpreter supplies default 
values for the rest of the paragraph properties when it reads in the MIF file.

To apply a format from the Paragraph Catalog to a paragraph, use the PgfTag statement to include the 
format tag name within the Para statement. For example, to apply the previously defined format 1Heading 
to a paragraph, use the following statements:

<Para

<PgfTag `1Heading'>

<ParaLine

<String `This line has the format called 1Heading.'>

> # end of ParaLine

> # end of Para

To apply a format from the Paragraph Catalog and then locally override some properties, use a partial Pgf 
statement within the Para statement. The following MIF example applies the paragraph format 1Heading, 
then changes the alignment:
