I am creating some basic documentation and would like the paragraph

appreciated. Thanks

The real paragraph marks can't be printed, but you can place the visible
character ¶ before each one to fake it.

Open the Replace dialog. In the Find What box, enter the code for a
paragraph mark,

^p

In the Replace with box, first enter the character by holding down the Alt
key while you type 0182 on the number pad (with NumLock turned on). After
that type the code for "the found text", ^& , so the content of the box is

¶^&

Click the Find Next and Replace or Replace All button.

If the last line of any of your paragraphs goes almost to the right margin,
the character might show up on the last line and might take the last word
with it, so your line breaks won't be the same. If you're printing the
documentation, you might be able to fix that by adjusting the paragraph's
right indent.
