Default An even bigger Find and Replace

To keep each address in a block, replace ^p (paragraph break) with ^l (line
break), then replace ^l^l with ^p.

I thought I had the job done and then --

I have now been sent an address list formatted as follows:

John A. Jones [paragraph mark]
2111 Alabama Street [paragraph mark]
Miami, FL 33131[paragraph mark]
[paragraph mark]
Mary Smith [paragraph mark]
50 Park Place [paragraph mark]
Miami, FL 33131 [paragraph mark]
[paragraph mark]

In other words each last line of the address is followed by two paragraph
marks.

I know how to change last names first if the names are on a line by
themselves, but I don't know if there's a way keep the address with the

name
at the same time. There are over 200 and, as usual, they say, "It's a

rush!"

What now, coaches?

Thanks so very much for any advice on how to approach and also any find

and
replace or macro information.
