FrameMaker 10 - Is there a way to search for missing periods

Is there a way to search in FrameMaker 10 for missing periods in a book?

Is there some kind of wildcard, such as:

a/p (/p meaning end of paragraph)

b/p

c/p

etc?

Then search for each letter and end of paragraph.

Is that possible?

Thanks!

    Using FM's wildcard search, the following options are available to you:

    \P = start of paragraph

    \p = end of paragraph

    \< = start of word

    \> = end of word

    \P\p = empty paragraph

    ^ = beginning of line

    $ = end of line

    So to search for a paragraph that doesn't end with a period, use: [^.]\p
