I have found it far quicker to create an empty document as a template. 
Then select all in flow in the existing document, copy, and paste into
the new document.  This is far quicker than trying to clean out the
remnant DNA that accumulates in documents over time.

For my PhD project I intend to write a FrameScript that does what Chris
wants  (yeah, right!).   :o)
