Special Format character - like Programmers 'line continuation sym
Copying and Pasting an Outlook Express email into Word 2000 resulted in lines
being terminated with some sort of line feed or new line character - I want to Find and replace these with " " (a space) - removing these new lines. I have not been able to find this character anywhere (except unwanted in my Word text). I am unable to copy and Paste this symbol into the Find window. Nor can I Copy and Paste the Paragraph format mark - this used to work in some earlier version of Word - Its equivalent ^p placed in the Find box continues to work. Thanks for your help PeterC |

It's a line break, Peter. Try ^l (that's a lower-case L) in the Find What.
