In my experience importing thousands of pages of Word content into
FrameMaker (mostly back in the 5.5.6 and 6.0 days) is that this kind of
cleanup was a lot easier to do in Word, before importing into FrameMaker.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

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.
