I'm porting material from MS Word to FrameMaker 7, and the perpetr... er, original authors used empty paras for white space. I'd like to find and delete them expeditiously.

Is there a handy short way to do a Find for empties?

Seems like a search for \P\p (begin para, end para) should do it, but seems not to.

Tried copying an empty to the clipboard and doing a find for "Text & Character Formats on Clipboard" and got nothing.
