May it help to start the search at the end of the document and then "find backwards". You need this technique for example to find those darn superfluous CR: ? Importing from Word may leave CR characters (\x0D) and other illegal characters (e.g. \x01) in the file. These restrict an FM search to the paragraph ending with CR. You can find these characters only by searching backwards from the end of the flow. Clean the file by saving as MIF, opening the MIF, saving as FM. ? BTW the 'end of flow' character is entered in the find dialogue (no wildcards!) as \f or \x0b .
