I tried that. And the PowerFind to PowerFindPro conversion gets it wrong -- it converts ..(1plus) to ..+ (or something to that effect). That latter string when placed in a macro does exactly what is expected of it: it selects the whole document. The question is what to use instead of \.\., which ALSO selects the whole document. :-(
