FM 12 crash leads to disastor

Question

Framemaker 12 crashed on me while I was editing a relatively large book ~130 pages. There are many figures, tables and even some imported text. While I was inserting some more anchored frames the file crashed. I reloaded it, and everything looked fine, until I took a closer look and noticed: There are no periods! There is not a single period at the end of a sentence in my whole book! Any ideas for reversing the crash or inserting periods where they need to go? My first idea is to use the wild care search to search for anything that ends with a lower case, a space, and then a capital letter: [abcde...]|[ABCDE...]. I'm not sure how to past without deleting the letters. Any ideas?

Before you do anything drastic, have you tried searching for a period to see if it's just not being shown on the screen (perhaps due to the typeface used)?

With FM12, you can do regex search and replace to maintain components of a find for the replace.
