Folks;

In previous versions of Word, you could find a paragraph
mark with ^p  in the "find" dialog box.  Now, however,
the ^p does not seem to work in Office XP (2002).  I have
a 1700 page document converted from powerpoint that has 2
paragraph marks at the top of each page.  I want to
remove these double paragraph marks.  In a previous
version of Word I would find:  ^p^p  and replace it with
^p

Any hints as to how to do this in Word 2002?

Thanks;

Keith Paschal

Your method works on mine.  Have you chosen the ^p from
the Special list?  Also are you sure there are onl 2
paragraph marks because if their are more it will not
replace them.

Hope this helps
Judith

^p works in all Word versions
however to remove multiple paragraph marks use a wildcard replacement
Replace:

^13{1,}
with
^p

Hi Keith,

Are there page breaks? If you have a page break followed by an empty
paragraph followed by a regular paragraph, you don't have any ^p^p... you
have ^m^p<some text>^p

To remove empty paragraphs following the page break, try replacing ^m^p with
^m.
Or, to remove any number of them, try a wildcard replacement (^12)^13{1,}
with \1 (^12 being the ASCII code Word uses for page breaks).

Regards,
Klaus
