Although I am happy to recommend other tools, I should point out that my
script ($80 and requires FrameScript) handles a lot of format types at once.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the recommendation. FWIW, duplicating this script in ExtendScript

Yes! Whoever saved the files (in your case) from FrameMaker chose to use a
".doc" extension, for whatever reason. I guess they figured these were
"documents"! :)

I suspect this is another dumb question:
I am using FM10 on Win7 writing a multi-chapter technical book. Is there a

Hi John
If your system's too pinned down to install a plug-in, AND you know the names of all those styles you want rid of, AND you've got a decent text editor, then you can do this on bulk MIF files.
It'd pay to search the FM files first to make sure no text is using any of the old styl
