The degree symbol represents a nonbreaking space (you can create one
yourself by pressing Ctrl+Shift+SpaceBar).

If you want to search for nonbreaking spaces, use ^s in the Find and
Replace dialog box.

When I click the Show/Hide paragraph button on the toolbar, in order
to
display the normally hidden paragraph markers, I can see a hidden
character
that looks like a degree symbol that acts like a space within the
document.
How do I search for this character within my document so that I can
do a
Search and Replace on it t oreplace it with a "real space", thereby
removing
all such characters from my document?
