Hi all,
For several years, I was the sole tech writer at my company and was the
only person in my department who used Framemaker. Now we have another
tech writer, for a total of two.
For this year's user guides, I made some changes to the paragraphs and
character styles, cross-reference names
I use CleanImport from electropubs.com to purge the existing catalogs

One of the habits I've gotten into is to put some random characters in
the Change field while I'm looking for something, not wanting to do a
global change. For example, if I want to search for each instance of
