ghost styles? jinxed searches?

Question

I come to the conclusion there's something I don't understand about FM searches … by scrutinising .mif copies of existing .fm files, I have discovered a redundant style.

FM knows it's there – because saving the relevant .book as .pdf throws a warning about a missing font that's only used in this style – and admits it in the paragraph catalogue:

On the other hand, FM steadfastly the style denies exists if I search on Paragraph Tag (virtuously checking body pages, master pages and reference pages) in the files concerned.

Does Find Paragraph Tag actually mean "find paragraph tag as long as it's applied to some text"? That would be rather limiting.

Perhaps you need something added to the available search choices, but I'd prefer to describe Find Paragraph Tag as Find Text with a Specific Paragraph Tag, which I find indispensable.

To remove the ghost tag in Fm11, try using the options in your Paragraph Catalog to display or delete unused tags.

Niels,The FM Find function searches through the content in the flows only. Something defined in a Catalog, but not used in a flow, can not be found his way. As Matt indicates, you need to use the tools available for the repsective catalog to remove the unwanted definitions.
