I've used this search and replace workaround in Word and PageMaker, among
other
Windows apps (not in Frame, although it should work there too):
Search for: Replace with:
"ff" in your regular font lowercase "q" in the expert set
"ffi" lowercase "o"
"ffl" lowercase "p"
"fl" lowercase "n"
"fi" lowercase "m"
Hope this helps!
