Mark at end of paragraph
When I receive files from other people, the end of a paragraph is sometimes
marked with an arrow (like a carriage return sign). Does that behave the same as the MS paragraph symbol? How can I replace that with the standard paragraph symbol without having to go through every line? Thanks. |

Mark at end of paragraph
The bent arrow is a line break. You can replace line breaks with paragraph
breaks by replacing ^l (that's a lowercase L) with ^p. For more on nonprinting characters and what they mean, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. -- Suzanne S.

The mark you are describing is for a new line. You can do a global find and
replace. Find ^l and replace with ^p. Also, see: http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm I hope this has been helpful to you. -- Carol A.
