James, if you haven't yet tried it, there's a great freebie tool called MIFBrowse that could be very useful for finding intractible leftovers from Word.

 <http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm>

In most cases "MIF washing" by saving a file as MIF and then reopening it does indeed help "disinfect" things that get carried through from RTF, but I've also seen stuff that didn't get removed that way, although the code wasn't anything that was documented in the MIF manual, either.

ah, and this could be one of them -- I've seen instances of a a "lock" property that comes through from RTF that doesn't get washed when saved as MIF, so maybe that's why the red color doesn't disappear.
