FM 10 has find paragraph and find character overrides as a selection in the Find/Change dialog. It's a new feature.
from:http://blog.globalizationpartners.com/8-ways-unstructured-framemaker-10-helps-translation.aspx "Many unstructured FrameMaker documents have unwanted or unnecessary format overrides to paragraphs, character selections and tables. The Find/Change menu now has the ability to search for Paragraph Format Overrides, Character Format Overrides and Table Format Overrides. In the example shown below, a search for Character Format Override has located an item in a bulleted list that has a "dead" character tag, "CF 12 pt HVY" applied to it. [graphic deleted] This is typical of character styles that are artifacts from older legacy documents were converted from Microsoft Word to FrameMaker. In this case, clicking on Change will remove the format override."
