Default Carriage returns in a document.

No, you don't want to leave in "the double carriage return that denotes the
paragraph." What denotes a paragraph is a single paragraph mark. Search for
^p^p and replace with ^p until you get no further replacements. Then Ctrl+A
and Ctrl+0 to add 12 pts Space Before (or add Space Before/After in Format |
Paragraph). This is the correct way to separate paragraphs.

I am trying to remove the carriage returns from a document but leave in

the
carriage return that denotes a paragraph. I know I can find and remove

all
of them but I want to leave in the double carriage return that denotes the
paragraph. Any ideas?
