Default How to Find a 'Printing' Paragraph symbol using 'Find & Replace' & wildcard

Thank you for the reply Jay. When using wildcards, what is the correct code
for paragraph? ^p is not working on 2002.

The printable pilcrow character, ¶ , is inserted by holding down the
Alt key while typing the digits 0182 on the number pad (having turned
on NumLock). You can also find one in the Insert Symbol dialog. The
Alt+0182 combination works directly in the Find/Replace dialog, or you
can place one in the text, copy it to the clipboard, and paste (using
Ctrl+V) into the dialog.

If you want the nonprinting paragraph mark, the code for that in the
Find/Replace dialog is ^p .

A 'printing' paragraph symbol cannot be pasted in the Find or Replace

can
work in the Find and Replace fields?
