You had better luck than I did.

I thought I'd try it on a book. I did Change All, waited about forever, then had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get out. 

Then I tried it on just a chapter. Same result. Am rebooting everything.

This procedure worked great in a very, very small file--maybe 4 paragraphs. That was the file Amit was working with. 

Darn! I thought I had it.

Unfortunately, FM9 finds _everything in the document_ when I set the language to None. It skips around the document finding blocks as short as one line or as long as several pages, until it has found everything in the document.
