special
character for the Find What box".. Can you tell me why is that.

Greg gave the fix--but a PS: Word calls soft returns manual line
breaks,
which is how they are listed in the Special menu in F&R. And hard

I'm trying to replace those with "hard returns" aka paragraph

but
cannot find anything in the "Special" menu in the Find & Replace
dialog box.
Any insight or answers to this???
