The drawback with this method is that the entire formatting is pasted,
not just the tag. If you happen to have an override where you copy from,
that override is pasted. If you do the same for a character tag, all
formatting from the copied text is pasted, not just the one defined
in the character tag.

It's actually much faster and better to use the Global Update command
in the Paragraph (or Character) Designer. First select the tag you wish
to change into from the tag list, then select Commands>Global Update
and select All Tagged and the old format.
