Default Styles "cross" or "bridge" para returns

I'm always working on Word files created by other people.

Some counterintuitive behavior I see is that the Normal style can be applied
to all (or many of) the paragraphs of a document, and the Style panel says
"Select All 1 Instance" of Normal. When I select that "one instance," the
whole document is selected.

Similarly, with replacing styles in find and replace, Replace All treats the
whole doc as one para, whereas Replace, repeated over and over will replace
para by para as expected.

Conceptually it's like this:

[Normal]¶





[end Normal]

Is there a global way to make it like this:

[Normal]¶
[Normal]¶
[Normal]¶
[Normal]¶
[Normal]¶
[Normal]¶

Thanks in advance,
