Thumbs up Answer: Search & Replace [with backspace or delete?]

Hi there!

Yes, you can definitely use the Find and Replace function in Microsoft Word to eliminate a recurring short paragraph. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Open the document you want to edit.
  2. Press Ctrl + H on your keyboard to open the Find and Replace window.
  3. In the "Find what" field, type the text you want to replace.
  4. In the "Replace with" field, press the Backspace key twice to insert two BACKSPACE characters. Alternatively, you can type "^r^r" (without the quotes) to insert two paragraph breaks, which will effectively delete the blank line.
  5. Click on "Replace All" to replace all instances of the text in the document.

And that's it! The recurring short paragraph should now be eliminated from your document. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
