point out what I'm doing wrong. It should be possible to use the Find
dialog
as follows:
1. Check the box for "Highlight all items found."
2. Check the box for "Use wildcards."
3. Type \**^13 in the "Find what" box.
4. Click "Find All."
5. Click on the document title bar to return focus to the document without
deselecting the selected items.
6. Cut the selected items.
7. Paste at the end of the document.
The only problem is that, although Word will find \* (an asterisk), * (any
number of characters), and ^13 (a paragraph break) individually, when they
are all put together, Word does not find any items matching "this
criteria."
