I lied: FrameMaker can't find the 'fl' if it is a ligature and 'f' 'l' are typed into the Find dialog.

However - and this is weirder - I have had both 'fl' as a ligature and 'fl' as separate characters *in the same paragraph* of an e-mail from the authors. (That was what caused my erroneous posting.)

I guess this is getting off the point, though, so I'll keep mum about it from now on.
