Stupid Formatting Question

Given the high technical level of issues discussed on this list, I feel
stupid asking this question, but I'm stuck so I'm going to ask anyway! :-)
I'm new to Framemaker, and I have been learning it to create the third
edition of my book. On the second edition, the publisher did all the
production work, so I wrote the whole text (100,000 words) as a single,
large Word document, using Word Tables, Heading markers, etc. I've
imported that original document into Framemaker, and everything came in
surprisingly well--tables came in in tact, headings came in etc.
However, there is one problem--all the headings are coming in with an
asterisk in front of them (*Heading1) which I guess means the paragraph
format is overridden, and the overridden *Heading markers won't show up
at all in the TOC.
When I imported the document, I selected "Reformat Using Current
Document's Formats" and selected "While Importing, Remove Other Format
Overrides", but the overrides are still there.
As a test, I went through and manually selected a couple headings to
remove the format overrides, and with that everything showed up in the
TOC properly, etc. But there are hundreds of heading markings
throughout the book, and I really don't want to change them all manually.
Is there a way to globally remove all the overrides, while leaving the
heading markings intact?
I searched the help file and the manual but couldn't figure out how to
do this. Thanks!
John
