Are either of you using Rick Quatro's TableCleaner plug-in? At my last employer

The FrameMaker Word import filter leaves a line-feed character at the end of
each paragraph. You can't see it, but it is there and apparently affects

Nope. All those wonderful plug-ins will become available to me when I get a box
that will run my copy of FrameMaker 10 (trip to local Apple Store to talk to a
guru scheduled for March).

For FM 10 it's \f. Wildcards don't have to be on.
This is getting more interesting. \f does work in FrameMaker 7, but it only
finds some instances of the '.\f'

I'm using FM10, but \f did locate the end of flow symbol.
