You can equally well add ^p^p to the specific text. For example, if you are
searching for the word "book," then you would put "book" (without the
quotation marks) in the "Find what" box and "book^p^p" (without the
quotation marks) in the "Replace with" box. You may well need to check the
box for "Whole words only," and make sure you don't have "Use wildcards"
checked.

Thanks. It did not give me the desired results, but I will study these

codes
and try it until it does. I appreciate your response.

In the "Replace with" box, type:

^&^p^p

^p is the code for a paragraph break; ^& is the code for "Find What

Text,"
that is, the text you were searching for and found. These codes are
available via the Special button when the insertion point is in the

"Replace
with" box.

I want to find specific text and replace the same text adding two hard
returns. How do I do that? I cannot find the command to do it in the

format
or special character box.
