Errant Format Removal

[Shmuel Wolfson]

I'm sure you could make a script for it in Extendscript or Framescript 
to find all paragraphs with that style and to change only that aspect of 
the paragraph. It sounds like a trivial think for someone who knows one 
of the scripting languages. It might pay for you to pay someone to make 
a script for this. Or you could look around on the internet for a 
similar script.
