You didn't say what platform you were working on, but if you are 
lucky enough to be working on a Mac, there is an AppleScript that 
ships with FrameMaker that will get you what you want. To find it, go 
to the folder your FrameMaker application lives in and follow the 
trail to Samples --> AppleScript --> ListProps. ListProps is the 
script you want. Just open it and run it. When you open it, you may 
be asked to locate the application FrameMaker 5. If so, then just 
find it in your file system. Once opened you should be ready to go.

The script describes itself thus:

This sample script creates a report for a document that contains the 
following information: the name of every paragraph format in the 
Paragraph Catalog and its properties, the paragraph formats used in 
the document, and the character formats used in the document.
