A presumably simple FrameMaker-for-Windows feature that would be helpful to me today: The ability to Search-and-replace multiple lines of content.

It seems the search buffer and replace buffer are: (1) Not capable of searching past a line break; (2) Not capable of replacing multiple lines of text. I'd like very much to be able to replace up to 10 lines of existing content with up to 10 lines of new content in a single Search/Replace operation.

As it stands, I export my .fm chapter files to .mif, use some third-party tool to perform the replacment, then open the .mifs back into FrameMaker and re-save as .fm. Oof!
