FrameMaker search

[Baruch Brodersen]

Ragnar has some very good suggestions. 10 quick search and replaces might be
the best bet.
The MIF to Word to MIF round trip also works well. If you do that, search
and replace in Word using these wildcards:

Find: ([0-9][0-9])([a-z][a-z])
Replace with: \1 \2

Note that there is an empty space between "\1" and "\2"
